Frequently asked questions
How do I ask questions about a PDF?
Open Chat with PDF, load your document, and type your question. The AI reads your PDF and answers from its content.
Is it really free?
Yes — unlimited questions, no account. On Chrome and Edge it uses your browser's built-in AI; elsewhere it finds the most relevant passages.
Does it upload my PDF?
No. Everything — reading, AI, answers — happens on your device.
What kinds of questions work best?
Factual ones: deadlines, names, amounts, summaries of sections, “what does it say about X?”.
My PDF is scanned images — will it work?
Not directly, since there's no text to read. Run it through Searchable PDF first, then chat with the result.
How long a PDF can it handle?
Very long documents work, but answers draw from the most relevant portions. For huge files, try AI Summarizer first.
Shrink oversized PDFs so they fit email attachments and upload limits. PDFZippy compresses your PDF locally in your browser — pick a target size like 1MB and download a smaller file in seconds. Most PDFs shrink dramatically on the first pass — try it and check the before/after sizes.
How to compress a PDF
Open your PDF in the Compress PDF tool.
Drag the quality slider: left for a smaller file, right for sharper pages.
Click “Compress” — your browser re-renders each page at the quality you chose.
Download the smaller PDF and check the new size.
Why use PDFZippy for this
Target specific sizes — shrink a PDF to 1MB, 500KB and more
Smart image optimization that protects text sharpness
Before/after size shown so you see exactly what you saved
No uploads — compression runs on your device
Free, no watermarks, no signup
Tips for best results
Need to hit a size limit (like 1MB for email)? Start near 50% quality and nudge the slider until the result fits.
Compress a copy first if you need the original quality archived somewhere.
Image-heavy PDFs shrink the most — text-only files are already small.
If email still rejects the file, try one step stronger compression.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to 1MB?
Open the file in Compress PDF and drag the quality slider — left for the smallest file, right for sharper pages. To hit an email size limit, start around 50–60% and adjust until the result fits; the tool shows the exact before/after sizes.
How much smaller can my PDF get?
It depends on the file — image-heavy PDFs often shrink 70–90%, while text-only PDFs are already small and may barely change. The tool shows you the exact before/after sizes.
Will compressing make my PDF blurry?
Text stays sharp because compression targets images, not text. At aggressive settings images may lose some detail — preview the result and pick the balance you like.
Why is my PDF so large in the first place?
Usually uncompressed images or scanned pages. Each scanned page can be several MB; compression re-encodes those images efficiently.
Is there a maximum file size I can compress?
The limit is your device's memory rather than a fixed number. Most phones handle files up to a few hundred MB; desktops handle more.
Do I need to upload my PDF to compress it?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser — your file never leaves your device.
