Upload a PDF, pick a compression level, and download a smaller version — works best on scanned or image-heavy PDFs.
Large PDFs break email limits, slow uploads, and frustrate clients. This free PDF compressor reduces file size in your browser so you can share documents without installing desktop software.
Compression is most effective on files with images or scanned pages. Text-heavy PDFs may shrink less, which is normal.
Email gateways often cap attachments around 10–25 MB. Job portals, university forms, and client portals also reject oversized uploads. Shrinking a scan or pitch deck by even 40–70% can be the difference between a failed send and a completed application.
Always open the compressed file once before sharing. If charts or photos look too soft, try a lighter compression setting and export again.
Yes. No signup is required to compress and download.
Some quality trade-off is expected at stronger settings, especially for photos. Start milder if the document must stay crisp for print.
This tool is built for in-browser use so your document is not turned into a permanent cloud file on our side. Review the Privacy Policy for site-wide details.
Image-heavy PDFs and scans usually shrink more than pure text PDFs.
