PDF compressor · Free · no sign-up
Make your PDF smaller.
Shrink scanned documents and photo-heavy PDFs so they send by email or WhatsApp and pass upload limits. Everything happens on your device.
How it works: each page is redrawn as a picture. This is great for scans and photos. But the text can no longer be selected or searched, and links and form fields stop working. Keep your original for those.
🔒 Your files never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded.
Best for scans and photos. For a PDF you need to search, copy from or fill in, keep the original.

Questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The compression runs inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to our servers or anyone else's.
Why can't I select the text in the new PDF?
To make the file small, each page is saved as a picture. That is why scans and photo PDFs shrink so well, and also why text can't be selected or searched and links and forms stop working. Keep your original if you need those.
Which level should I choose?
Start with Recommended. If the file is still too big for an email or a portal, use Strong. If it looks too soft, use Light.
Why is my new file sometimes bigger?
A PDF that is mostly text and already small can grow when its pages become pictures. We tell you, and you can keep the original.
Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
Not yet. Remove the password first, then drop the file in again.
