Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser - your files never leave your device, so it is private and works even on a slow connection.
Will the text still be selectable?+
Strong compression re-renders pages as images, which gives the smallest files but makes text unselectable. “Light” keeps the original structure.
