  2. Pick a quality preset (low, medium, high).
  3. Unlock the result and download the smaller PDF.

Use cases

  • Shrink a scanned contract before uploading to a portal.
  • Make a presentation fit a job application form.
  • Squeeze a hefty PDF down before sharing on WhatsApp or Slack.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my PDF get?

It depends on the original - image-heavy PDFs can shrink 60 to 80 percent, text-only PDFs less so. Try the medium preset first.

Will the text stay searchable and selectable?

Yes. We don't rasterise text - only embedded images are recompressed, so search and copy still work.

What's the file size limit?

Up to 50 MB per upload. Files are auto-deleted after 7 days.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, the whole flow works on phones, tablets, and desktop. Upload, compress, and download straight from your phone browser.
