PDF compression is a way to make your PDF files smaller. When you compress a PDF, it shrinks the images and removes hidden extra data that you do not need. This makes the file size much smaller while keeping the text and layout looking clean and sharp.
Large PDF files can be hard to share. They can be too big to send over email or slow to upload to websites. Shrinking your PDFs makes them easier to send and saves space on your phone or computer. It also helps your website load faster if you host PDFs there.
Compressing your PDF files is simple and takes just a few steps. First, drag and drop your file into the upload zone above, or click to browse your files. Next, choose a compression preset like Balanced or Max Compress. Finally, click the Compress PDF button and download your newly shrunk file.
Our PDF compressor runs entirely inside your browser. This means it is very fast because your files are not uploaded to any remote server. It also works offline, so you do not even need an internet connection once the page is loaded.
We offer three simple compression presets. High Quality keeps your images looking crisp with low compression. Balanced is recommended for most files, giving you a good mix of small size and clear quality. Max Compress shrinks the file as much as possible, which is great for scanned text.
Your privacy is safe with us. Because the tool runs locally in your browser sandbox, your documents are never uploaded to any server. Your sensitive information never leaves your device.
You can use this tool on any mobile phone or tablet. The interface adapts to small screens, letting you compress documents easily while on the go.
This tool is supported by all modern web browsers. It runs smoothly on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge without installing any plugins.
We support files up to 50MB. This file size limit ensures that your device has enough memory to process the PDF without slowing down or crashing.
| Preset Level | Target DPI | JPEG Quality | Estimated Size Saved | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Quality | 220 DPI | 85% | 15% - 25% | Portfolios, Print Documents |
| Balanced | 150 DPI | 65% | 50% - 70% | Emails, Standard Sharing |
| Max Compress | 72 DPI | 40% | 75% - 85% | Scanned Files, Archives |
For scanned documents with text, Max Compress works best. If your PDF has colorful photos and detailed designs, try High Quality or Balanced to keep the colors and lines looking clean and professional.
