Frequently Asked Questions
How close to 200KB will the result be?
At or under 200KB. Several compression strengths are tried and the mildest one that fits is kept, so no more quality is given up than the limit requires.
My resume is only text. Why is it still over 200KB?
A text-only PDF is normally small already; when it is large the cause is usually embedded fonts or a photo. If it cannot be brought under the limit you are told, along with the smallest size reached.
Does it keep links and bookmarks?
The document structure is preserved — pages, text and links are kept. Only the images are recompressed.
Will the text become blurry?
No. Text stays as real text and is never turned into a picture. Only the images inside the PDF — photos and scanned pages — are recompressed.
Can I use a different size limit?
Yes — change the number or the unit, or pick one of the presets (100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB).
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The compression runs inside your browser, so certificates, ID documents and statements stay on your device.
