Common questions
Is this PDF compressor free?
Yes, within a generous free daily allowance of file actions.
Is there a file size cap?
Processing happens in our secure processing layer, so the practical limit is your own available memory.
Do you keep my files?
No. Private tools never upload, and anything that does touch a server is deleted immediately after download.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
Remove the password first with the unlock tool, then compress the open document.
