Compress PDF FAQs
Will compression hurt text quality?
Text remains crisp. Only images are downsampled, and light mode keeps the highest fidelity.
Do files upload anywhere?
No. Ghostscript runs client-side so nothing leaves your browser.
Can I undo the compression?
Keep your original file handy. You can always rerun the tool with a lighter setting.
Where is my download?
Every export lands in the download workspace with the saved file size noted.
