How does PDF compression work?

This tool rebuilds your PDF by re-rendering each page as a compressed image and assembling the pages into a new, smaller PDF. You choose the quality level — lower quality means smaller files, higher quality preserves more detail. Best for PDFs with images, scans, or graphics.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The compression happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API and pdf-lib. Your document never leaves your device. Unlike SmallPDF or iLovePDF, no files are sent anywhere.

How much can I reduce the file size?

It depends on the content. PDFs with lots of images or scans can often be reduced 50-80%. Text-heavy PDFs with few images see smaller reductions. Use the Medium or Low quality setting for maximum compression.

Will compression affect text quality?

This compressor re-renders pages as images, so text becomes rasterized. For documents where you need selectable text, use the High quality setting. For scans, receipts, or image-heavy PDFs, Medium or Low works great and gives the best compression.
