When to use this tool
A PDF compressor can help documents fit email or portal limits and use less storage. Stronger settings are most effective on image-heavy PDFs.
What to know before you start
Text-only or already optimized files may not become smaller. Strong compression can soften images, so inspect diagrams and small print after downloading.
Temporary, private processing
No account is needed. Files are processed on this server and are not sent to third-party document processors or cloud storage. Uploads receive randomized server names and are deleted after download or automatically within 15 minutes. Page previews, where offered, are rendered locally in your browser. Avoid online processing for documents whose handling rules prohibit it.
Compress PDF questions
Which compression level should I choose?
Recommended is a sensible starting point. Use strong for a smaller file when reduced image quality is acceptable.
Why did my PDF not get smaller?
Some PDFs already use efficient compression or contain mostly text. The tool does not replace a file with a larger result.
Does compression remove pages?
No. It aims to reduce file size while retaining the document's pages.
