Your PDF is read and transformed in this browser tab using WebAssembly/JavaScript (pdf-lib). Files are not sent to Toolminator servers. Close the tab to clear memory; download only when you choose. How file processing works
All PDF tools (private) — files stay in your browser; see how files work.
Best for email attachments: compress first, then check file size. Scanned PDFs shrink less than text-native files. PDF compress guide

Common mistakes
- Processing confidential contracts or ID scans on a shared or public computer—use a trusted device.
- Assuming local processing means zero risk: malware, extensions, or screen capture can still expose files.
- Expecting pixel-perfect PDF layout after heavy compression—always open the output before sending.
- Uploading the same export to multiple untrusted third-party converters after using a local tool.
FAQ
Is my data uploaded?
