Everything happens in your browser: pdf.js renders pages and pdf-lib creates the new compressed PDF.
Rasterized compression
Size reduction is achieved by converting pages to compressed images, so sharpness may change or selectable text may be lost.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No for this tool. The PDF is processed in your browser and FácilPDF does not receive the document.
Does it work on mobile and desktop?
Yes. You can use it in modern mobile, tablet and desktop browsers. Very large files depend on the memory available on the device.
What happens to the file when I finish?
The generated copy exists temporarily in the tab. It is only saved to your device if you choose to download it.
