PDF Compressor

Make a smaller rasterized copy of a PDF, with explicit quality trade-offs.

◇ Files are processed locally. Password-protected PDFs are unsupported.

How pdf compressor works

Each page is rendered to a JPEG and placed in a new PDF. This removes selectable text, links, annotations, forms, accessibility tags and signatures. Use only on a copy when those features are unnecessary. Output may be larger.

A practical example

A scanned document may shrink at 100 DPI and 65% JPEG quality; a text-only PDF will often grow.
