FAQ

How do I shrink a PDF to a specific size?

Enter your target size in KB and upload — the best quality that fits that size is chosen automatically. Or leave it empty and pick a quality preset.

Will the text stay readable?

Yes — compression mainly re-encodes images inside the PDF; text stays sharp and searchable.

What does the grayscale option do?

It converts images to black-and-white, which cuts the size dramatically — ideal for documents and lecture notes.

Is my PDF kept on the server?

No — it is deleted right after processing and never visible to anyone.
