Why Luleit's PDF Compressor is Different

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my PDF go when I compress it?+

Nowhere. The entire compression happens in your browser using JavaScript — your PDF never touches our servers, never gets uploaded, never gets stored. Once you close the tab, the file is gone from memory; we have no copy. There is nothing for anyone to subpoena, breach, or sell.

Is this PDF compressor really free, with no catch?+

Yes — no signup, no email required, no watermarks, no page limits, no daily quota, and no upsell for a paid tier. The tool runs entirely in your browser using free, open-source JavaScript libraries, so we have no server costs to recover. Your privacy IS the business model: we collect nothing because we have no use for it.

How much can I reduce the file size?+

Scanned PDFs typically shrink 50–80% by recompressing embedded images and stripping unused metadata. Native text PDFs compress less (10–30%) because text is already efficient — most savings come from the images.
