Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will it get?

Files with large photos or scans shrink the most, often by 50-90%. Text-only files are usually already small.

Will quality suffer?

Low compression keeps print quality. High compression lowers image resolution to suit screens.

Are my files safe?

Files are stored in a private workspace that only your link can open. They are processed on our servers, never shared, and deleted automatically 48 hours after your last visit. You can delete them yourself at any time.

Is it free?

Yes. All tools are free with no sign-up and no watermark. The site is paid for by ads.
