Compress a PDF
Make a PDF small enough to email or upload. We re-compress the images inside it at the strength you choose, while text, fonts and vector graphics stay exactly as they were.
How to use it
- Choose a PDF.
- Pick Light, Recommended or Strong compression.
- Download the smaller file and see how much you saved.
Privacy: Your file is processed inside your browser and is never uploaded to our servers.
Questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
Image-heavy PDFs such as scans and brochures often shrink by 50 to 90 percent. Text-only PDFs are already small and may not change.
Will text become blurry?
No. Only images are re-compressed; text stays vector and searchable.
