The v1 compressor renders pages to JPEG and rebuilds the PDF locally. Text may no longer be selectable after export.

- Use Small file mode when upload limits matter more than sharp text.
- Use Balanced mode for most scanned forms, receipts, and packets.
- Open the compressed PDF before sending it because this v1 rasterizes every page.

- The v1 compressor renders each page to an image, so selectable text and vector details can be lost.
- Password-protected or damaged PDFs cannot be compressed in the browser.
- PDFs that are already optimized may not become smaller.

Problem: A form, receipt packet, or scan is too large for an email or web portal.
What to check: Upload the PDF, choose Small file or Balanced mode, and export a smaller browser-generated PDF.
Expected output: The downloaded PDF is easier to upload while keeping the pages readable.

Problem: A PDF made from photos is larger than needed.
What to check: Use Balanced mode first, then High quality if the page images need more sharpness.
Expected output: You get a more shareable PDF while keeping a practical visual copy.

No. The core compression workflow renders and rebuilds the PDF locally in your browser.

Not in this v1. Pages are rasterized into images, so selectable text, links, and vector details may be lost.

Some PDFs are already optimized or mostly vector text. This compressor works best on scans and image-heavy PDFs.
