Compress PDF
Reduce PDF file size with three compression levels. Great for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs that are too big to email.
· Original
ⓘ Pages are re-saved as images, so text in the compressed PDF can’t be selected or searched.

FAQ
How much smaller will my PDF get?
Scanned and photo-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50–90%. Text-only PDFs are usually small already.
Why can’t I select text after compressing?
Pages are re-saved as optimized images to save space. Keep the original if you need searchable text.
Is it safe for confidential documents?
Yes. Compression runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
