Compress PDF
Rewrite a PDF in this browser and compare the file size. Use the image option when you need a smaller file and can give up selectable text.
It runs in your browser. What you enter stays on this device.
How to use it
- 1Choose one PDF.
- 2Download the rewritten file and compare the size.
- 3If it is not small enough, save the pages as images at a lower quality.
When it helps
- Get a form under an email attachment limit.
- Shrink a scan before an application upload.
- See whether a rewrite is enough before turning pages into pictures.
Good to know
- A rewrite keeps the text and often does not shrink a file that is already compact.
- Saving pages as images makes a smaller picture of each page. The text can no longer be selected.
- The file needs to be 20 MB or smaller and 80 pages or fewer.
Questions
Will every PDF get smaller?
No. If the pages are already stored efficiently, the rewritten file can be the same size or larger.
