Frequently asked questions

Do I get free credits to try Compress PDF?
Yes — new accounts get 3 free credits to spend on any tool, Compress PDF included. After that you only pay for what you run.
How many credits does Compress PDF cost?
Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded: free accounts pay 1 credit per run, and Pro or Pro+ members run it as often as they like.
Which compression mode should I choose?
Recompress images keeps the text selectable and usually balances size and quality best; lossless cleanup removes hidden data without changing how the page looks; full rasterisation shrinks scans the most but turns every page into an image.
Will the text still be selectable after compressing?
With recompress or cleanup, yes. Full rasterisation converts pages to images, so the text is no longer selectable.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser and the file stays on your device.
Is the content I paste private?
Compress PDF uses your input only to generate the result. Stored results are deleted automatically by our retention policy, and you can remove any run from your history.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Compress PDF works in any modern browser — nothing to download or install.
