Make a heavy PDF light enough to attach to an email or form — right in your browser. Perfect for a scanned document that is too big.
One PDF file. You can also drag it here.
Compression turns each page into an image, so the text is no longer selectable. It is ideal for scanned documents.
Starting…
Just one document. It never even leaves your device.
Light keeps more quality; extreme makes the smallest file.

That scanned ID, receipt or contract that goes over the 2 MB limit on a bank's website or a government form? Compress PDF fixes it. The tool redraws each page as an optimized image, which greatly reduces the size of scanned documents — usually the heaviest case. Because the whole process runs in your browser, the document never goes up to any server, which matters a lot for sensitive paperwork. One honest note: since each page becomes an image, the text stops being selectable; if your PDF is plain text and already small, we tell you and hand back the original.
Upload the PDF, choose a compression level (light, medium or extreme) and click compress. The tool shows the size before and after so you can pick the best balance. The light level keeps good reading quality.
This tool compresses by turning each page into an image, which greatly reduces the size of scanned PDFs. As a result the text becomes an image and is no longer selectable. It is the ideal method for scanned documents; for plain-text PDFs the file is sometimes already small.
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser. Contracts, payslips, medical records and personal documents never leave your device.
We add no watermark and no artificial limit. The only practical limit is your device's memory, since everything is processed locally.
