Need to compress a PDF? Our free online PDF compressor reduces file size by up to 90% while maintaining quality. Whether you need to shrink a PDF for email, faster uploads, or storage savings, this tool makes it easy.
Large PDF files can be a problem. Here's why you might need to reduce PDF size:
Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $22.99/month just to compress PDFs. Our free PDF compressor works directly in your browser - no software to download, no account to create, and no subscription fees. Just upload your PDF and compress it instantly.
Our PDF compressor reduces file size by optimizing images, removing duplicate resources, eliminating unnecessary metadata, and restructuring the file for efficiency. Text always stays sharp and readable. The compression level you choose determines how aggressively images are optimized.
If your compressed PDF is still too large, consider using our Remove PDF Pages tool to delete unnecessary pages like blank pages, cover pages, or sections you don't need. Removing image-heavy pages can significantly reduce file size beyond what compression alone can achieve.
Unlike other online PDF tools that upload your files to their servers, our compressor processes everything locally in your browser. Your PDF files never leave your device, making this the most secure way to compress PDFs online. This is especially important when working with confidential documents.
