What happens to your file

Lossless repacks the file’s internal structure and compresses it better; text and images are untouched. Strong modes re-draw every page as a picture, which shrinks scanned and image-heavy PDFs most. For an exact size limit, use Compress PDF to 100 KB.

Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded: the PDF is read and written inside this browser tab, so it never leaves your device.

Does it work with password-protected PDFs?

Yes, after you remove the password with Unlock PDF.
