Frequently asked questions
Will the file really end up under 2MB?+
The tool steps image resolution down and keeps the best-looking result that fits under 2MB. If a document simply can't go that low (e.g. it's all text and fonts with nothing left to shrink), you get the smallest achievable file instead.
Is my file uploaded to a server?+
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — the file never leaves your device. Safe even for sensitive contracts and records.
Does compressing to 2MB hurt quality?+
2MB is a fairly comfortable target — most documents compress with little to no visible quality loss. Only very image-heavy files see mild resolution adjustments.
Which PDFs compress well to 2MB?+
Scans, photos, and graphics-heavy PDFs shrink the most. Already-optimized text PDFs have little left to remove, so the original may be returned unchanged.
