Compress PDF

Reduce a PDF file size with a browser-based optimization pass. Your file stays on your device.

Visual compression turns pages into images, so text will no longer be selectable.

Privacy first. This free browser-only pass can optimize PDF structure. Image-heavy files may not shrink much because images are not fully recompressed.
