Compress PDF
Shrink scans, photo PDFs and portfolios for email and upload limits. Pages are re-saved as optimized images, which works best for scanned or image-heavy documents.
Pages are saved as images, so text in the result can't be selected or searched. Best for scans and image-heavy PDFs.
How to use it
- Drop a PDF.
- Choose light, balanced or strong compression.

Questions
Will text stay selectable?
No. Pages become images, so use this for scans and image PDFs, not for documents where people need to copy text.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your file never leaves your device and nothing is stored on our servers.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
