Searchable text & fonts preserved — Ghostscript-powered

How it works

Text stays text. Unlike screenshot-based tools, Ghostscript recompresses only images — your searchable, selectable text is fully preserved.

Same engine as Adobe Acrobat. Ghostscript is the industry-standard PDF processor used by iLovePDF, Smallpdf, and professional print workflows.

Secure transfer. Your file is sent over HTTPS, compressed server-side, then immediately deleted from the server. Never stored.

Never larger than original. If compression would increase the file size, the original is returned unchanged.
