How does compression work here?

Each page is re-rendered at an optimized resolution and quality level, which usually cuts file size significantly — especially for scanned or image-heavy PDFs.

Will the text still be selectable?

No — to achieve strong size reduction, every page is converted into an optimized image. If you need to keep selectable text, try the PDF to ZIP tool instead, which keeps real vector pages.

What happens after my free daily limit?

You'll be offered a £1 one-off unlock for the rest of the day, processed securely through Stripe.

Is my file uploaded to compress it?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
