Compress PDF

Reduce your PDF's file size without making the text blurry or the images unusable. Choose from low, medium, or high compression depending on whether the file needs to stay print-quality or just needs to be small enough to email.

Most PDFs are large because of uncompressed images, not text — so this tool shrinks image data intelligently while keeping every word sharp, since text in a PDF is stored as vector data and isn't affected by compression. Medium compression works well for most everyday documents like resumes, reports, and invoices; use low compression for anything print-quality or photo-heavy.

Your file is encrypted during upload and deleted automatically within 12 hours — nothing is stored longer than it needs to be, and no account is required.

Need to send several files as one? Merge PDF first, then compress the combined file here to keep the final attachment small.
