When to use this

Many government and business portals cap uploads at 2-5MB. Compress to fit.
Archive documents
Reduce storage costs by compressing old documents before archiving.
Free PDF compressor, no upload needed
Large PDFs are hard to email, slow to load, and eat storage. This tool shrinks them right in your browser. No upload, no account, no server involved.
Choose a quality level that fits your needs. “Maximum compression” is best for archiving or emailing. “High quality” preserves detail for printing. The default “Balanced” setting works for most use cases.
The compression works by re-rendering pages at a lower resolution. This is most effective for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs. Text-heavy PDFs with vector content may see smaller gains.
