How the PDF compression works

Private Photo Converter redraws each page of your PDF as an image and rebuilds the document with those images at a lighter quality, which usually makes the file much smaller. If the result is not smaller than the original, you get the original back. Everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded.

What to expect

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my PDF be?

It depends on the content: scans and photos often shrink by more than half, while text-only PDFs may stay about the same.

Will I lose quality?

A little: pages are drawn at screen quality and compressed. That is fine for reading and sharing, but not ideal for professional printing.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. Private Photo Converter converts everything in your browser: your photos and files never leave your device and Google never sees them. The only thing loaded from outside, and only if you accept ads, is Google's ad code, which may use cookies. Your preferences are saved only in your browser.
