PDF Compressor

Reduce a PDF file size by recompressing the images embedded inside it. Works on one file or many at once.

About this tool

Reduce a PDF file size by recompressing the images embedded inside it. Works on one file or many at once. It runs entirely in your browser using open-source PDF libraries, so your document is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. That makes it a fast, private option any time you need to reduce PDF file size by re-compressing images. Bulk supported.

How to use it

  1. Upload one PDF, or several at once for bulk compression.
  2. Choose a compression level for the embedded images.
  3. Download the smaller file(s).

Tips

  • PDFs made mostly of text won't shrink much, since compression targets embedded images.
  • Try the bulk option if you have a folder of similar scanned documents to shrink at once.

FAQ

Will this reduce the size of a text-only PDF?

Not much — this tool targets embedded images, so text-heavy PDFs see little change.
