The file is compressed on your device — it never leaves your browser.

Working with PDF Compressor

Use the compressor when a document is too large to attach or submit. Choose a quality preset based on how the pages will be read, then inspect the output. Image-heavy documents may benefit more than PDFs that are already compact.

How to use PDF Compressor

  1. Open the PDF you want to reduce.
  2. Choose a compression quality preset and run the process.
  3. Compare the output size and visual quality before saving the result.

PDF Compressor example

Compress an image-heavy handout using the balanced preset. Compare the file sizes and zoom into small text before choosing the version to share.

What to expect from the result

Compression is not guaranteed to make every PDF smaller. This workflow can rasterize pages, affecting selectable text and document features. Keep the original and check readability.
