We shrink it to a smaller file size, right in your browser
Best for scanned or image-heavy PDFs. Pages are flattened to images, so text in the result is no longer selectable.
Frequently asked questions
How does this compress a PDF?
Each page is rendered to an image at your chosen resolution and re-saved with efficient JPEG compression, then reassembled into a new, smaller PDF. This works best for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs.
Will the text still be selectable after compressing?
No. Because pages are flattened to images, text in the compressed PDF can no longer be selected or searched. If you need selectable text, keep the original.
Which level should I pick?
Start with "Balanced". If the result looks too soft, choose "Good quality". If you need the smallest possible file for an upload limit, choose "Smallest".
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The entire process runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
