  • Your PDF stays in this browser while the tool runs.
  • Encrypted or damaged PDFs may need to be unlocked or repaired before this tool can read them.
  • This tool preserves page artwork where possible, but it does not rewrite original PDF text like a word processor.
  • Best results come from PDFs with extra metadata or inefficient internal structure.
  • Image-heavy PDFs may still not shrink significantly.
  • If the cleaned copy is larger, the original file is returned instead.
