Your files never leave your device.
Compress PDF without uploading it
Reduce PDF file size for free, right in your browser. No upload, no sign-up, no watermark.
How it works
Your browser reads the PDF and recompresses suitable images. Text and vector content are kept where the PDF engine supports it.
Why use this tool?
No uploads, accounts, ads, or tracking. The processing engine runs locally on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does compression reduce quality?
Image detail may change. High quality favors clarity; text and vector graphics usually remain sharp.
Can I choose a target size?
Yes. We try several settings and choose the best result under your target when possible.
Why might my PDF not become smaller?
Already optimized PDFs may have little redundancy. We keep the original if rewriting makes it larger.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
Yes. Enter the password; it is only used in this tab. The compressed copy is saved without a password.
Are files uploaded?
No. Files stay in this browser tab and are never sent to a server, whichever tool you use.
Is it free? Are there limits?
Free, with no account, watermark or daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Every tool runs in modern mobile browsers. Very large PDFs can exceed a phone's memory; a computer handles those better.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once you have used a tool online: the site keeps its files in the browser and then runs without a connection.
