Why do PDF files get big?

High-resolution images and embedded fonts are the main reasons for bloated PDF files. To compress them, you need to downsample images and remove unnecessary metadata.

  <h3>The Browser-Side Advantage</h3>
  <p>Most sites upload your files to their servers to compress them. This is a privacy risk. Our tool does it entirely on your computer using JavaScript.</p>

  <div style="margin: 40px 0; padding: 24px; background: rgba(29,107,228,0.1); border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(29,107,228,0.2);">
