What is Compress PDF?

A large PDF file is a common problem — it is slow to upload, fails to send over email or WhatsApp, and takes up storage space. The Compress PDF tool reduces the size of any PDF document right in your browser, without installing any software.

This tool works best on scanned or image-heavy PDF files, where it re-renders pages to shrink the file dramatically. You can control the compression level and instantly see the new, smaller file size before downloading.

How to use this tool

  1. Click or drag your PDF file into the upload box.
  2. Move the compression slider to choose how much you want to reduce the size (higher % = smaller file).
  3. Click the Compress button and wait a few seconds.
  4. Preview the result and download your compressed PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the quality of my PDF reduce?

Some quality reduction is expected at higher compression levels. For text-based PDFs, use the "Metadata Cleanup Only" option to reduce size without touching quality.

Is my file safe?

Yes. The tool runs completely in your browser — your file is never uploaded to any server, so your data stays private.

What is the maximum file size?

Files up to 50 MB are supported. Larger files may take more time to process.
