Frequently asked questions

Is PDFwerk really free?

Yes. All tools work without an account and without limits. The site is funded by ads.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Processing happens entirely in your browser. Your documents are never sent to a server or stored anywhere.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in every current browser on phones, tablets and computers. Very large files are faster on a computer.

How much does compression shrink a PDF?

Scanned documents and image-heavy files often shrink by 50 to 90 %. Pages are re-saved as images, so text can no longer be selected afterwards.
