Frequently asked questions
Why is 2MB such a common file size limit?
Many older application portals, government systems, and university application platforms have strict database and server storage limits. 2MB is a very common threshold to prevent server overload.
Will the text in my PDF still be readable?
Yes! PDF compression primarily targets the embedded images within the document. Text streams are compressed losslessly, so your written content will remain perfectly crisp and legible.
Is it safe to compress sensitive documents?
Yes, it is entirely safe. Our tool runs locally in your web browser using WebAssembly. Your documents are never uploaded to our servers, making it completely secure for financial records, IDs, and legal documents.
