    Questions

    Is it free?

    Yes. No sign-up, no watermark.

    Is my file stored?

    No. It's sent to our server only for this job and deleted as soon as the job is done.

    How much smaller will it get?

    It depends on the PDF. Files with photos or scans shrink the most; text-only PDFs are often already small. If we can't make it smaller, you get your original back.
