How does PDF compression work here?

Each page is rendered to an image, re-encoded as a JPEG at the chosen quality, then packed into a new PDF. Lower quality = smaller file.

Why do I get three downloads?

We build three versions at once — High quality, Recommended balance and Maximum compression — so you can pick the right trade-off between file size and visual quality.

Yes. Compression runs in your browser. PDFs are never uploaded to a server.

Will text stay selectable?

No — this method rasterises pages to images, so text becomes part of the image. Use it for scans, photo-heavy PDFs and final share copies.
