## Questions and answers

### How do I make a PDF smaller than a certain size?

Drop the PDF above, enter the size you need – say 2 MB for an email attachment or an upload form – and press “Shrink PDF”. smolpdf tries the gentlest changes first and compresses only as much as it takes to fit.

### Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on your device. Your PDFs are never sent anywhere, so it is fine for confidential documents too.

### Does the text stay sharp and selectable?

Yes, whenever possible. smolpdf first removes waste and shrinks images, and leaves text and drawings as they are. Only when a limit can’t be reached any other way are some pages turned into pictures, and it tells you when that happens.

### Does it work for scans?

Yes. Scanned text is kept in sharp black and white where that looks best, and photos on the same page become a smaller colour image behind it. Scans stay readable even at small sizes.

### Can I merge PDFs or remove pages?

Yes. Drop several PDFs to join them, drag pages into a new order and remove the ones you don’t need. With a size limit, the result is shrunk in the same step.

### What does it cost?

Nothing. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.
