About this tool
Reduce a PDF's file size so it fits under email limits or uploads faster. Choose how aggressively to compress — "Balanced" gives a big size drop with quality that's fine for reading and printing.
Frequently asked questions
Will compressing blur the text?
No — text stays sharp and selectable. Compression mainly re-saves embedded images at a sensible resolution.
How small can it get?
It depends on the file. Image-heavy PDFs shrink the most; the tool shows the percentage saved.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, and temporary copies are deleted automatically after processing.
