FAQ
It is tuned for resumes: higher starting render resolution to keep text sharp, plus a reminder to trim when the resume exceeds one page — recruiters average ~10 seconds per resume.
Try it ↑No. Compression runs entirely in your browser; we never see or keep the contents.
Try it ↑The output is a standard PDF every portal can open, but compression rasterizes text — if the system must extract text, submit the original or pick the 2MB target.
Try it ↑3 runs per day, resetting free at 00:00 UTC; during the beta the per-file limit is raised to 200MB.
Try it ↑No. Any change to a signed PDF (merging, compressing, watermarking…) invalidates the existing digital signature — that is the tamper-proof design of PDF signatures, not a limit of this site. Process first, then sign.
Try it ↑Yes — and you can verify it: the tool runs on open-source in-browser engines (pdf-lib, pdf.js, Tesseract OCR…) on your own device. Open DevTools → Network while processing and you will see no file upload requests.
