Reduce the size of a PDF document

Compress a PDF for sharing, storage, or publishing. The original file stays on your device.

Choose a structure-preserving profile or compare it with reduced JPEG pages for stronger scan compression. The tool keeps the smaller result and reports whether text and links remain available. Processing is local and the PDF is never uploaded.

Full mode is on. Image quality and additional compression settings are available.

Compress a PDF without uploading it to a server

PDF compression can reduce a document before you email it, publish it online, or store it in the cloud. The tool shows the original and resulting file sizes so you can review the outcome before downloading.

  • Balanced profile: keeps text readable and optimizes supported images.
  • Maximum compression: compares a standard PDF rebuild with reduced JPEG pages and chooses the smaller file. In the image-page version, text, links, forms, and signatures are not preserved.
  • Strong compression while keeping text: keeps the PDF structure, but images already compressed as JPEG are not re-encoded.
  • Lossless image quality: rebuilds the PDF structure without re-encoding images.
  • Full mode lets you set JPEG quality, maximum-mode resolution, stream compression, and the source document password.
  • Standard compression keeps text and page order. A digital signature may become invalid after a PDF is changed.
  • Files up to 100 MB are processed on your device and are not sent to a server.

Compression cannot reduce every PDF: an already-compressed or mostly text-based document may stay the same size or grow slightly. The original is never replaced, and the result remains available to download.
