Questions
Why is 200 KB asked for so often?
It keeps uploads quick on slow connections, so many forms use it. This tool gets you just under it at the best quality it can.
Will the text still be selectable?
Yes, for typed PDFs. Only the pictures inside are shrunk, so text stays sharp and selectable. If a file can only get smaller by turning its pages into pictures (some scans), you are told that the text can’t be selected.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
