Frequently asked questions
Can I compress a PDF for free?
Yes — compressing PDFs is free, with no account and no watermark added. A generous daily allowance is more than enough for typical use.
Is it safe to compress confidential PDFs?
Yes. Files are processed on our servers, never shared with anyone, and deleted automatically within 2 hours — both original and compressed copy.
Which compression levels can I choose from?
Three levels: Extreme for the smallest file, Recommended for a good balance of size and quality, and Less when quality matters most. Recommended is the default.
