How does Optimise embedded images work on MakeOverPDF?

Recompress the images already inside a document. MakeOverPDF runs qpdf --optimize-images on the server and returns: One PDF, downloaded immediately.

Is Optimise embedded images free and private to use?

Yes. MakeOverPDF requires no user account, watermarks nothing unless you use the watermark tool, and deletes your uploaded document from the private working directory as soon as the request finishes.

What are the file size and page limits for Optimise embedded images?

Images are re-encoded as JPEG only when that really makes them smaller — qpdf's own rule is that the bytes must shrink or the image is left exactly as it was. Text, vector drawings and page geometry are never touched. Photographs gain the most; flat graphics and screenshots often gain little. This is lossy re-compression of the images themselves, so at some quality settings fine detail softens — the pages themselves are never re-rendered. The document's pages are verified one for one against the input before the result is offered.
