Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. It's compressed in your browser and never leaves your device.
Why didn't my file get much smaller?
PDFs that are mostly text are already small. The biggest savings come from scans and photos.
Will the text still be selectable?
Yes, on the normal settings. The strongest setting turns each page into an image, which saves the most on scans but makes text unselectable.
