Questions

Is it really free and private?

Yes. It runs in your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device and is not sent to FastOCR or anyone else. That costs us nothing, so it is free with no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it.

Will the text still work?

Yes. Only the pictures inside are made smaller.

How small will it get?

Photo-heavy PDFs shrink the most. You see the size before you download.
