Compress PDF

Compress PDFs locally with a target file size. Free, no signup and no document uploads.

Drag & drop your file here

Files stay in your browser. No document upload to a server.

Images are recompressed automatically while separate text and vectors remain editable. Image quality may decrease.

By default, text and vectors are preserved. Image-based compression replaces pages with images: text selection, links and editable forms are lost. It can reduce quality. Targets are not guaranteed.

Rewriting a signed PDF invalidates its digital signature. Keep your original file.

Reduce PDF size on your device

Choose a target size in KB or MB. Optimization runs entirely in your browser and never uploads your document.

How your file is processed

Your browser loads the tool software, reads the file on your device and creates a downloadable result locally. Document contents are not sent to a conversion server. Anonymous operation counts and website analytics are described in the Privacy Policy.

Keep your original and check the downloaded file. Recognition and editable conversion can require corrections; cropping is not secure redaction.

How to use Compress PDF

  1. Choose or drop one PDF and enter your target file size.
  2. Keep the default text-preserving optimization, or allow image-based compression after reviewing its limitations.
  3. Compare the actual size with your target and download the result. The original file is never overwritten.

Best results

Image-heavy PDFs and scanned documents benefit most from image-based compression. Text-only PDFs may already be compact.

What to expect

Targets are best effort. Default optimization cleans unreachable objects, recompresses data streams and supported embedded images while retaining independent text and vectors. Image quality can decrease, and already-compressed text documents may shrink very little. Optional whole-page image compression removes selectable text, links, interactive forms and accessibility structure. Rewriting invalidates digital signatures. Password-protected PDFs are unsupported. Device memory limits apply.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. Compression and downloads take place in your browser.

Can every PDF reach my target size?

No. Content, image quality and PDF overhead impose limits. The tool reports the actual result and never returns a larger file than the original.

Will text stay selectable?

Yes with default optimization. If you explicitly allow image-based compression and it produces the smallest result, pages become images and text is no longer selectable.
