Private by design: the file is processed on your device with open-source JavaScript libraries. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored. Re-rendering converts each page to an image, so text is no longer selectable — use lossless re-save when the PDF came from Word or a browser.

FAQ
Common questions
Why did my digital PDF barely shrink?
Text PDFs are already compact; the big savings are in scanned pages and embedded photos. Try the re-render method if selectable text is not required.
What size do Indian portals accept?
Varies: many government and exam portals want under 1 MB or 2 MB; some ask for under 300 KB for a single page. Use Low quality + grayscale for those.
