Compress PDF

Pick a PDF, choose a method and level, then hit Compress: lossy re-encodes embedded images to shrink the file, lossless strips metadata only. The result downloads in one step.

 

Re-compress images (lossy): re-encodes embedded images at a lower quality, so image-heavy PDFs shrink a lot - but pages are flattened to images and text is no longer selectable.

Remove metadata only (lossless): strips hidden metadata and re-optimizes the file without changing anything you see or select - smaller gains, but text stays editable.

Your files never leave your device - everything runs in your browser.

This tool compresses PDFs two ways. Re-compress images (lossy) renders every page as a compressed JPEG, which dramatically shrinks image-heavy PDFs but flattens text and vectors into the images. Remove metadata only (lossless) strips hidden metadata and re-optimizes the file with no quality or text loss. Everything runs locally in your browser.
