Compress PDF Online to Reduce File Size

Reduce PDF file size online while keeping your document readable. Pages become images, so text is not selectable.

Limits: Pages are saved as images, so text can no longer be selected, copied or searched, and image quality may drop. Keep your original file.

How it works

Each page is re-saved as a compressed image, which can shrink scanned and photo-heavy files a lot. Text is no longer selectable afterwards, so keep your original. Mostly-text files are often already small and may not get smaller.

Questions

Why did my file not get smaller?

Text-based PDFs are already compact. The tool tells you when the result is not smaller than the original.

Can I still select the text?

No. Pages become images, so text cannot be selected or searched in the compressed copy.
