What you get
No upload
Compression runs in our secure processing layer, which also makes it fast.
Size shown clearly
Before and after sizes are displayed so you can see whether you are under the limit.
No watermark
The compressed file is clean on every plan.
Repeat if needed
Scanned documents compress best; if one pass is not enough, try splitting the pages first.

Common questions
Will my PDF definitely get under 100 KB?
Text-based PDFs usually shrink dramatically. A file that is one large scan can only shrink so far without losing legibility — splitting it into single pages often helps.
Does compression damage the text?
Text stays selectable. Compression mainly re-encodes embedded images and fonts.
Is it free?
Yes — secure tools are covered by the free daily allowance.
