Frequently asked questions

Can any PDF be compressed to 2 MB?

Most scanned and image-heavy PDFs fit easily. If a file can't reach 2 MB without becoming unreadable, we show the smallest size we could reach.

How do I keep the best quality?

Image-heavy presentations usually fit 2 MB with almost no visible change.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
