How to use the PDF Compress tool
This tool compresses your PDF file using pure browser processing — no uploads, no accounts.
Why compress a PDF?
Smaller files are easier to email, upload, and share. Great for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs.
FAQ
Which level should I choose?
Balanced works best for most files. Use Maximum only if file size is critical and quality is less important.
Is my file stored?
No — everything happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How much will it shrink?
Results vary. Image-heavy PDFs compress the most. Text-only PDFs may not reduce much.
Will quality be affected?
At Balanced and Minimal levels, quality is preserved well. Maximum may reduce image clarity.
