How it works
Shrink a heavy PDF for email or an upload form. Each page is rendered and saved again as a compressed image, which works well for scans and photo heavy files.
- Add a PDF file.
- Pick light, balanced or strong compression.
- Press Compress PDF, compare the sizes and download.
Your files stay on your device
Everything runs inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them. You can even switch to airplane mode after the page has loaded and the tool will keep working.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still select text afterwards?
No. Pages become images, so text is no longer selectable. If you need text, keep the original.
Why did my file get bigger?
PDFs that are mostly text are already small. In that case keep your original.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers.
