Common questions (4)
Why won't Gmail let me attach my PDF?
Gmail rejects attachments larger than 25 MB. Files over the limit can only be sent via a Google Drive link instead of a regular attachment.
How small will my PDF be after compressing for Gmail?
For most PDFs with embedded photos, expect 1–5 MB — well under the 25 MB ceiling, and quality stays close to the original.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is sent to any server — verifiable in your browser’s Network tab.
Will text stay searchable in Gmail?
Yes. fits. downsamples only embedded images. Text and vector graphics remain selectable, copyable, and searchable in any PDF reader.
