Three levels of control, local processing, and text that stays selectable — nothing forced, nothing uploaded.
Choose low, medium, or high compression to balance file size against visual quality for your specific use case.

Try the higher compression setting first, then check the result. Compression outcomes vary by content, so it may take a try or two to hit an exact target.
Yes. Everything happens in your browser — your file never leaves your device during compression.
No. Compression reduces file size without removing text layers, so your PDF stays searchable and selectable.
