Drop your file in, compress, download. Text PDFs usually shrink a lot; photo-heavy ones shrink less but stay readable.

How to Compress a PDF to a Smaller Size

  1. Select your PDF — drag it into the tool or click Select PDF to browse for the file.

  2. Start the compression. The tool strips redundant embedded data and re-encodes oversized images at a smaller size.

  3. Check the result — the new file size against the original — before you commit to the download.

  4. Save the smaller PDF. Text stays selectable and sharp; only the hidden bloat is removed.
