Common questions
Why 1 MB?+
Plenty of upload forms, job portals and email threads cap PDFs at 1 MB. This gets a scanned or image-heavy PDF under that limit in one click.
Will my text stay readable?+
Yes. We only reduce the resolution of embedded images — the text and vector graphics are kept as-is, so the document stays crisp and selectable.
What if it can't reach 1 MB?+
If a PDF is mostly text or vectors there's little image data to shrink, so it may not reach 1 MB. We give you the smallest version we can without harming the text and tell you — try a larger target like 2 MB.
Is my PDF private?+
It's uploaded over an encrypted connection, compressed on our server, and both the upload and the result are deleted within an hour. No account, no watermark.
Is there a watermark?+
No watermark and no signup. Image-heavy and scanned PDFs are exactly what this is built for.
