Why Compress PDF Files?

Large PDF documents can take longer to upload, download and share. Reducing PDF file size can make it easier to attach documents to emails, submit online forms and manage storage space.

Compression results depend on the original document and selected settings. Some PDFs are already optimized and may not become smaller.

Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

No. PDF processing takes place directly in your browser, without uploading the document to our server.

What is the difference between Low, Medium and High Compression?

Will my PDF keep selectable text and hyperlinks?

No. This tool converts PDF pages into compressed images. Selectable text, hyperlinks and interactive form fields are not preserved.

Why is my compressed PDF not smaller?
