Linearize PDF runs entirely in this browser tab. The PDF is read from your device, processed here, and saved back to your device. It is not uploaded, and LittleOrMore never receives it. How privacy works
Questions
Are my files uploaded?
The file is read and processed by this browser tab. It is never uploaded to LittleOrMore or anyone else.
Does this make the file smaller?
Not necessarily — the file is reorganized, not compressed, and can be slightly larger. Use Compress PDF to reduce size.
How do I know it worked?
The result is checked with qpdf's linearization check, and the report shows the outcome.
