Compress PDF files, right in your browser
Shrink scanned documents, ID cards and photographed pages for email and upload forms. Your PDFs never leave your device.
Pages are saved as images, so text can no longer be selected, copied or searched. Best for scans and photographed documents. If a PDF would not get smaller, you get the original back.

FAQ
Can I still select the text afterwards?
No. Each page is saved as an image, so text becomes part of the picture. Keep your original if you need to copy or search the text.
Which PDFs shrink the most?
Scans and photographed documents. PDFs made of plain text are usually already small; those are returned unchanged.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password first, then compress it.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF is read and rebuilt in your browser.
