Conseils d'utilisation

  • - 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.

Limites

  • - 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.

Questions fréquentes

Does Compress PDF upload my file?

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

Will the compressed PDF keep selectable text?

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

Why did my PDF not get smaller?

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