Privacy
The page downloads its code once. After that, your files are read and written inside this browser tab: nothing is uploaded, and no request leaves the page while the work runs. An automated browser test checks the network log for this.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Compress PDF?
Same engine; this page locks the target to 5 MB so you do not have to type it.
Does it work offline after the page loads?
Yes: codecs stay in the tab; your file is not sent anywhere.
Can I aim for another size?
Yes: write “compress under 1 MB” in the box, or open Compress PDF under 2 MB.
Why is it still large?
Little or no images to recompress, or images already tiny. The numbers on the result tell you.
