Compress PDF

Compress PDF on your device. The PDF engine loads after you start. Files are not uploaded.

Processing stays in this browser. The PDF engine loads when you start.

PDF engine is idle until you start.

Rewrites embedded JPEG streams. Other images stay as stored. This does not promise a smaller file, and it does not promise that every reader still finds the text.

Draws each page as a picture. Text in the new file is not a text layer. Quality is reduced. The file can grow.

Limitations

Image recompression rewrites embedded JPEG streams and does not promise a smaller file. Rasterizing pages is a separate quality loss and removes the text layer. Protected and damaged PDFs stop with an error. Password unlock is not available.
