Upload a PDF, pick a compression level, and download a smaller version — works best on scanned or image-heavy PDFs.
Large PDFs break email gateways, fail job-portal uploads, and frustrate clients on slow connections. This free PDF compressor shrinks file size in your browser so you can share documents without installing desktop software or creating an account.
Compression works best on files with images or scanned pages. Pure text PDFs may shrink less, which is normal. Always open the result once before you send it — if charts look too soft, use a milder setting and export again.
Email systems often cap attachments around 10–25 MB. University forms, HR portals, and client data rooms reject oversized uploads without a clear explanation. Shrinking a scan or pitch deck by 40–70% can be the difference between a failed send and a completed application.
Yes. No signup is required to compress and download.
Some trade-off is expected at stronger settings, especially for photos. Start milder when 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. See the Privacy Policy for site-wide details.
Image-heavy PDFs and scans usually shrink more than pure text PDFs.
Protected files may need to be unlocked in another tool first. Always follow the document owner’s rules.
