Questions
How do I get a PDF under 1 MB?
Choose "Under 1 MB" as the goal. We first try shrinking it without changing anything you can see. If that is not enough, we redraw the pages at a lower resolution, step by step, until it fits.
Will my PDF still look the same?
Text and images stay sharp enough to read and print at normal size. For very small goals, like under 100 KB, scanned photos may look softer.
Why can I no longer select text?
To reach a small size, pages are redrawn as images. If you need selectable text, use the "Smaller, good quality" goal, which keeps text where it can.
Is it safe for private documents?
Yes. The PDF never leaves your device, so it is suitable for bank statements, payslips, IDs and medical letters.
