Smaller files, faster uploads, easier sharing
A large PDF can bounce off an email attachment limit, take forever to upload to a job portal, or eat up storage space you didn't plan to spend. Compressing a PDF reduces its file size by optimizing embedded images and stripping unnecessary metadata, so the document stays readable while taking up far less space.
To compress a PDF, upload your file, choose a compression level — Low for maximum size reduction, Medium for a balance, or High for minimal compression with the best quality — and click Compress PDF. The file is processed directly in your browser, and the smaller PDF downloads automatically.

All standard PDF types are fully supported for compression
PDFs with many embedded images compress the most — image-heavy files can shrink significantly without noticeable quality loss.
If your PDF is already compressed or text-only, size reduction will be smaller — but metadata stripping still reduces the file meaningfully.
For email attachments, aim for under 5MB — compress once and check the output size before sending to ensure it meets attachment limits.
If your PDF is password protected, results may vary — for the most reliable compression, use an unlocked PDF.
