Compress PDF

Make a PDF smaller. Choose a light structural pass, or a stronger pass that re-renders each page as an image at the resolution and quality you pick.

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded

Already-optimised PDFs sometimes grow slightly in light mode. If that happens, keep the original — the tool will tell you which is smaller.

Good to know

  • The strong mode rasterises pages, which flattens text into pixels — the result is smaller but no longer selectable or searchable.
  • Use the light mode first: it rewrites the file structure without touching page content, and is lossless.
