Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my file get?
It depends on the content. Files full of photos shrink a lot. Text only files are already small and may not shrink.
Will the text stay selectable?
In the Recommended and Strong levels, yes. The Maximum level turns pages into pictures, so text can no longer be selected.
What if the file cannot be reduced?
You are told, and the original is returned so you never get a bigger file.
Are my files safe?
Your files are processed inside your browser and are never uploaded to our servers. Closing the tab removes everything from memory.
