The before/after size is shown, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Great for scans

Image-heavy and scanned PDFs shrink the most, often by 80% or more.

Private by design

Compression runs in your tab. Your documents are never uploaded anywhere.

Your files never leave your device

Most compress-PDF sites upload your document to a server. Photoyam has no backend at all: the PDF is recompressed right in this tab, so private files stay yours. No size limit but your browser's memory.
