File processing and privacy

This tool uses a third-party processing API for the operation. A selected file is transferred to that provider as part of the requested conversion or processing job. Review the Privacy Policy before using the service with sensitive documents.

Frequently asked questions

Will compression affect readability?

Compression reduces image quality inside the PDF to save space. Text stays sharp; embedded images may show visible compression at higher reduction levels.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

Yes, for this specific tool. Compression uses a third-party processing API rather than in-browser processing. See our Privacy Policy for retention details.
