PRIVACY FOR THIS JOB

Your document stays under your control

Balanced compression renders and rebuilds the PDF in your browser. Statements, scans, and embedded page content stay on the device.

LIMITS TO KNOW

Check these before you start

  • Balanced mode rasterizes pages, so original searchable text is not retained.
  • The result size depends on page count, image detail, and the source PDF.
  • Run OCR afterward if the compressed output must be searchable.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

Shrink a confidential statement

Input
An 18 MB image-heavy bank statement
Result
A smaller locally generated sharing copy with its actual size reported.
ZERO UPLOADS
