Frequently asked
Where is my file processed?
Compression uses a server tool (Ghostscript). Your file is sent over HTTPS, compressed, returned, and deleted immediately - it is never stored or logged.
Why did the size barely change?
PDFs that are mostly text are already small. The biggest savings come from files full of high-resolution images or scans.
