Questions

Will the text get blurry?
No. Only pictures and scanned pages are made smaller; text and vector drawings are not touched.
How much smaller will it get?
It depends on the pictures in it. A scanned document often shrinks to a third of its size on Strong.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened, changed and saved in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it works with confidential documents too.
