How to use: Compress PDF
- Select PDFs and check their original size. Tap a preview to enlarge it; use + to add files from your device.
- On phones, tap Settings beside Add files, choose the method, compression level and target size, then Apply. On laptops, use the right panel.
- Choose Compress PDF, compare the sizes and review the result, then download. Help is available in the workspace; adjust settings to retry without reselecting files.
Choose compression and check the result
Optimization preserves text and vectors. The image-page method renders pages as images for stronger compression. Choose a target such as 500 KB or 1 MB to meet the recipient’s requirements.
A size target is not guaranteed. Already compact PDFs may barely change. Image-page compression can remove selectable text, links, and interactive forms. Check logos and text before using the result.
What will I download?
One input produces a compressed PDF; multiple PDFs are packaged in a ZIP. If compression does not make a file smaller, the result may use a copy of the original.
