Frequently asked questions
Is Compress PDF free?
Yes. Compress PDF is free to use as often as you like — no sign-up, no watermark and no file limits.
Are my files uploaded?
No. ConvertMathly processes files directly in your browser, so they never leave your device. This is safer than tools that upload documents to a server.
Why can I not select text after compressing?
The Light, Recommended and Strong modes re-render each page as an optimized image to achieve big savings. Choose “Lossless” if you need to keep text selectable and searchable.
Does it work with large PDFs?
Yes. Documents with hundreds of pages are fine on a computer; on phones, very large files may take longer.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook, in any modern browser.
