Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the browser compress the PDF?

To achieve compression without a server, this tool rasterizes the PDF pages into highly optimized JPEG images and rebuilds the document. This is exceptionally effective for shrinking massive, bloated scanned documents.

Why is the text no longer searchable after compression?

Because the tool uses image-based optimization (rasterization) to reduce file size natively in the browser, the digital text layers are flattened into the image. This removes text searchability but significantly reduces the overall file weight.

Is there a file size limit?

Because the processing and rendering happens within your browser's memory (RAM), the limit depends entirely on your device. For optimal stability, we recommend compressing PDFs that are 30MB or smaller.
