Compress PDF
Make a PDF file smaller. Works best on scanned pages and pictures.
Quick answer: Choose a PDF and a size level. Every page is saved as a compressed picture, which can cut a scanned PDF a lot. The text can no longer be selected afterwards. Nothing is uploaded.
🔒 Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is saved or kept on our side.
How to use it
- Choose a file or drop it on the box.
- Adjust the options if you like.
- Press the button and download the result.
What to expect
This tool turns each page into a picture and saves it as a smaller JPG inside a new PDF. It helps most with scanned documents and photo PDFs. For a PDF that is mostly text, the result can be larger, because text is tiny as text but big as a picture. If the new file is not smaller, the tool says so and your original is unchanged.
What people use it for
- Forms and applications that need a certain format
- Sharing and printing
- Reducing file size
- Working without installing software
- Private files you do not want to upload
Questions
Can I still select the text?
No. The pages become pictures, so text cannot be selected or searched.
Why is the result not smaller?
PDFs that are mostly text are already small. Try the Smallest level or keep the original.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no limit and no watermark.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in any modern phone browser. Very large files may be slow on older phones.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up, no install and no limit.
Is anything saved or sent?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Only your own best score, where a page shows one, is kept on your device.
