Questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Compressing happens inside your browser, and your files never leave your device.
Will my text still be sharp?
Yes. Only the pictures inside the PDF are made smaller, so text stays sharp and you can still select and search it.
Why did my PDF hardly get smaller?
Files that are mostly text, and black-and-white scans, are usually compact already. If nothing can be saved, you get your original file back.
What happens to a signed PDF?
Compressing rewrites the file, which removes its digital signature. Keep the original if you need the signature.
