How it works

Flatten to images rebuilds each page as a picture, which shrinks scans and image-heavy PDFs a lot. Text stops being selectable, so it suits documents you want to send or print.

the Keep text mode tidies the file structure and leaves the text selectable, with a smaller saving. Everything runs in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device.

About the PDF compressor

Bring a heavy PDF down to a size that sends easily, all inside your browser. Choose the mode that suits your file, and you see the saving before you download.

Which mode should I use?

Flatten to images is the strong option and works wonders on scans and image-heavy PDFs, though it turns the pages into pictures so the text is no longer selectable. Keep text tidies the file and holds on to selectable text, with a gentler saving. Nothing is uploaded, so even private documents stay with you.
