How does the tool work?

To achieve real and effective compression, the tool does not just re-save the file, but performs the following steps:

  • Convert pages to images: Each PDF page is rendered on a Canvas at an appropriate resolution.
  • Compress images: Each page is converted to a JPEG image with lower quality (according to the selected level).
  • Rebuild the file: A new PDF file is created containing the compressed images, greatly reducing the size.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Because the tool converts pages to images for compression, the text becomes part of the image. This is the trade-off for getting real local compression. If selectable text is important to you, it is better to use desktop software like Adobe Acrobat.

If the original file already contains images compressed at low quality, the size may not decrease much. Try the "Low" compression level to get the smallest possible size.

There are no strict limits on our side, but the tool relies on browser memory (RAM). We recommend not exceeding 50 MB. If the file is too large, the browser may become slow or unresponsive.

If the file is password-protected, you will need to remove it first using another tool, because local processing tools cannot open encrypted files without permission.

Absolutely not. The tool works entirely within your browser (Client-Side) using JavaScript. Not a single byte of your file is sent anywhere. Even our servers are unaware of the file's existence.

Since the tool converts text to an image, the quality of the Arabic language depends on the compression level you choose. At the "High" level, the letters will look very clear. At the "Low" level, you may notice some slight blurriness in the letters when zoomed in.
