How to use Compress PDF
Choose a PDF and a quality level, then compress. This tool converts each page to an image, so selectable text and links will not be preserved. Keep the original document.
Processing happens in your browser. No account or server upload is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my PDF keep searchable text and clickable links?
No. This compressor rasterizes PDF pages as images, so selectable text, links, forms, bookmarks and accessibility tags are lost.
Does compression always make the file smaller?
No. The result depends on the source PDF and chosen image quality; some files may not shrink.
What PDF limits apply?
The tool accepts PDFs up to 20 MB and 40 pages. Large documents can also require significant device memory.
Which files benefit most from compression?
Scanned or image-heavy PDFs are generally better candidates than text-based PDFs. Keep your original file.
