Yes. It is free, with no sign-up.
No. This tool runs in your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to our servers.
Balanced works for most scans and photo PDFs. Strong gives the smallest file. Light keeps text and links but saves less.
Balanced and Strong redraw each page as a compressed picture, which is what makes files much smaller. Use Light if you need to keep selectable text.
