FAQ
Will text still be selectable?
No. Pages are re-rendered as images, which suits scans. Text-only PDFs are already small and may grow.
How do I get under an upload limit?
Try Medium first, then Strong. For long documents, split the PDF and compress the parts.
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Files are processed by JavaScript in your browser and never sent to a server, so it's safe for contracts and other sensitive documents.
