Compress PDF Files Online

Make PDFs smaller for email and WhatsApp. Pick a level and download.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Pick Light, Recommended or Strong.
  3. Tap Compress PDF and download.

Good to know

Only photos and scans inside the PDF are compressed; typed text and fonts are untouched.

Text-only PDFs are already small; you'll see a message if there's nothing to shrink.

Need a specific size like 200 KB? Use Compress PDF to KB.

Questions

How much smaller will it get?

Scanned PDFs often shrink by 50–90%. Text-only PDFs barely change.

Will the quality drop?

Photos lose a little detail; text does not.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No.

Can I compress password-protected PDFs?

No. Remove the password first if the file is yours.

Is it free?

Yes, with no watermark.
