    Questions

    Will the text still be selectable?

    No. Each page is saved as an image, which is what makes it small. Keep your original too.

    Why didn't my file get smaller?

    Some PDFs are already small. You'll be told, and given the original back.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. Everything happens in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
