Reduce the file size of a PDF in your browser so it fits email and upload limits, without sending your document to a server. Drop in a PDF, compress it, and download a lighter file — no watermark, no account.
How to compress a PDF
- 1Drop in your PDF.
- 2The document is recompressed locally to reduce its size.
- 3Download the smaller PDF.
Meet size limits, keep documents private
Email gateways and upload forms often cap PDFs at a few megabytes, and scanned documents easily exceed that. Compressing in the browser brings the size down to fit, and because contracts and statements are sensitive, doing it locally means your document is never handed to a third-party server.
