Compress PDF: questions and answers

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is opened and changed by code running in your own browser tab. The page is locked so it cannot send data to any server, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.

Why did my file barely shrink?

Files that are mostly text, or already optimised, have little to remove. The biggest savings come from PDFs full of photos or scans.
