Compress PDF

Make a PDF smaller. We show you the new size before you download, and we say so if a file could not be made smaller.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Choose Light or Strong. Light keeps everything the same. Strong turns pages into pictures.
  3. Press Compress and check the new size before you download.

Good to know

What this tool can and cannot do.

  • Light often saves only a little, and some files cannot be made smaller.
  • Strong turns every page into a picture, so the text can no longer be selected or searched.
  • Protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
  • Each file can be up to 100 MB, and you can add up to 30 files at once.

Questions

Why did my file not get smaller?
Some PDFs are already packed tightly. In that case we tell you, and you can try Strong if you do not need selectable text.
