Compress PDF files privately in your browser

This tool rebuilds a PDF directly in your browser so the file can be smaller when the document is made up of scanned pages or other image-heavy content. Choose one PDF, pick a compression preset, and download the result without sending anything to a server.

It is useful when you want to shrink a document before email, chat, or portal upload and you do not need the original page structure preserved as editable text.

Privacy note: All PDF processing happens locally in your browser. No file data is uploaded or stored remotely.

The compressor re-renders each page and rebuilds the PDF from those rendered pages. That approach often works well for scans, receipts, and other image-heavy documents, but it can make text-heavy or vector-heavy PDFs shrink only a little.

• Smallest file: lower render settings for the most aggressive size reduction.
• Balanced: a practical default for everyday documents.
• Best quality: keeps more detail, but may produce a larger file.

1. Click the upload area or drag and drop one PDF file.
2. Review the file size and page count.
3. Choose a preset such as Balanced or Smallest file.
4. Click Compress PDF.
5. Check the before/after size comparison and download the result.

• Reduce the size of scanned document bundles before sharing them.
• Shrink receipts, forms, or paperwork that were saved as image-heavy PDFs.
• Prepare a smaller attachment for email or portal upload.
• Trim a PDF that is larger than you want, even if the savings are modest.

Results vary by document. Scanned and image-heavy PDFs usually compress the most. Text-heavy or vector-heavy files may shrink only a little, and some PDFs can even get larger after re-rendering.

This tool does not preserve editable text layers. It focuses on a local, privacy-first size reduction workflow.

• Protected PDFs: password-protected files are not supported in this release.
• Text-heavy PDFs: documents with mostly selectable text may not compress well.
• Transparency: pages are flattened during re-rendering, so transparent areas may appear against a white background.
• Large files: very large PDFs can take longer to process and may hit browser memory limits.
