Questions

FAQ

Privacy, quality, and what to expect from local compression.

Why is SizePDF good for scanned PDFs?

Scans are image-heavy. Our compressor targets exact sizes that portals demand for those files.

Does it work on phone photo PDFs?

Yes. Photo-based and flatbed scans are the primary use case.

Is processing local?

Yes — 100% local, no upload, private by design.

Will OCR text remain?

Strong compression rasterizes pages, so selectable text is usually lost. That is expected for many upload portals.
