Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PDF compressor safe for sensitive documents?
Yes, completely. Unlike online compressors that process files on remote cloud servers, our tool optimizes your PDF entirely on your device using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded, ensuring maximum privacy.
How does the structural compression work?
When PDFs are edited, standard tools append changes incrementally, leaving old data inside the file. Our optimizer reads the active pages, strips duplicate/unreferenced metadata, flattens the edit history, and packages the results into streamlined streams.
Will my text or image quality suffer?
No. The default compression presets use lossless structural optimization, meaning your vector diagrams, font definitions, and embedded layouts remain completely sharp, readable, and pixel-perfect.
Are there document size or usage limits?
There are no usage caps or file limits. Since execution occurs entirely inside your browser's RAM sandbox, processing very large files depends on the available memory resources of your local device.
Can I use this tool offline?
Yes. Once the page is loaded, all structural parsing and compilation tasks operate locally. You can disconnect from the internet and still compress files successfully.
