Questions

Do my files get uploaded?

No. Compress PDF to 1 MB runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. Close the tab and they're gone.

Is it really free?

Yes. No account, no daily limits and no watermark on your files.

What if my PDF is already under 1 MB?

FileFleet keeps your original untouched and tells you, so you never lose quality for nothing.

Will the file really be under the limit?

Yes. FileFleet counts 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, slightly stricter than the 1,024 some sites use, so the result fits either way.
