How to compress a PDF
- Choose the PDF you want to make smaller.
- Pick a compression level. Recommended works best for most files.
- Click Compress PDF and download the smaller file.
How much smaller will my PDF get?
PDFs with photos or scans often shrink by 50–90%. Text-only PDFs are usually small already, so the saving is lower.
Which level should I choose?
Recommended keeps text sharp and images clear. Choose Extreme when a form has a strict size limit, such as 100 KB or 200 KB.
Is it safe to upload my files?
Files are sent over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers and deleted automatically after 1 hour. You can also delete them right after downloading.
Do I need to sign up?
No. This tool is free to use without an account.
