Compress PDF

Make PDFs small enough to email or upload — images re-compressed, file optimized, all in your browser.

  • Processed locally — your files never leave your device
  • Free, no sign-up
  • No file limits

Best results on scanned documents and PDFs with photos. Text-only PDFs are usually already small.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my PDF get?

Scanned and photo-heavy PDFs often shrink 50–90%. Text-only PDFs are usually already compact.

Will text become blurry?

No. Only embedded images are recompressed; text and vector graphics stay sharp.

Is there a size limit?

No fixed limit — it depends on your device's memory.
