Compression works by re-rendering pages as images, so it shrinks
scanned or photo-heavy PDFs the most. Text-only PDFs may not get smaller.
Made for scans
Scanners save every page as a large image, so a few pages can balloon to tens of megabytes. SafePDF re-encodes those page images to slash the file size — ideal for scanned contracts, receipts and records — all privately in your browser.
