Compress PDF

Make a PDF smaller, with the before and after sizes shown honestly.

Your files stay with you. Your files never leave your browser. This tool runs on your device: nothing is uploaded to our servers, so there is nothing for us to store or see.

How to use it

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Pick a level: Light keeps text, Medium and Strong turn pages into compressed pictures.
  3. Press Compress PDF, check the sizes, and download.

Medium and Strong make pages into pictures: files get much smaller, but text can no longer be selected or searched.

Questions people ask

How much smaller will my PDF get?
It depends on the file. Scans and photo PDFs often shrink a lot. PDFs that are mostly text may not shrink at all, and we tell you the real numbers.
What if the result is bigger than my original?
Then we offer your original file unchanged and suggest a stronger level. We never hand you a bigger file as if it were smaller.
Why can I not select text after compressing?
Medium and Strong redraw each page as a picture, which is how the size drops. Use Light to keep the text, or keep the original for copying.
Is my PDF uploaded?
Everything runs on your device, so the file is never uploaded.
