All PDF content is rendered locally in browser memory; files are not sent to Voocks. PDF libraries load from a third-party CDN on first use, requiring internet access. Rendering large documents can use considerable memory. No OCR or lossless PDF optimization is provided.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about using the PDF Compressor tool.
What kind of PDFs compress best?
Scanned or image-heavy PDFs often benefit most. Already optimized files may become larger.
Will the compressed PDF keep searchable text and links?
No. This tool turns each page into a JPEG image, so selectable text, searchable text, forms, links and accessibility tags are lost.
How do I choose a PDF compression level?
Use the Balanced preset first, then adjust DPI and image quality. Inspect the output before sharing it.
