Compress PDF privacy model

This tool is classified as heavy workload and runs in On-device mode. Current status: ga (fully-functional).

What this does

  • Applies the selected transformation to the document or exported output.
  • Keeps processing local in browser when marked On-device.
  • Uses monthly local counters for usage quotas.

What this does not protect

  • It does not remove names or sensitive content visible in document text or images.
  • It does not guarantee legal anonymity or endpoint compromise protection.
  • For hybrid tools, privacy depends on explicit cloud opt-in when enabled.
  • Compression may be minimal on already optimized files.
  • It is not a substitute for OCR cleanup on image-heavy scans.

Safe workflow defaults

  • Verify output manually before sharing.
  • Use security guidance at /security for higher-risk scenarios.
  • Keep original and transformed files separated to avoid accidental leaks.
