Choose a PDF and click Compress PDF - the tool re-saves it with a more efficient internal structure and offers the smaller file to download. The status line shows the before and after size and the percent saved, or "already optimal" when the file was already efficiently structured.
Nothing is stored beyond this browser tab, and no account or install is required to use it.
Pdf Compressor Online
Shrink a PDF's file size in the browser with one click - no upload. Choose a PDF and the tool re-saves it with a more efficient internal structure, then offers the smaller file to download.
The before and after size, and the percent saved, show up once processing finishes. Some PDFs are already efficiently structured, so a second pass may show little or no change - the status line says "already optimal" in that case instead of a false savings number.
Output is downloadable immediately after processing. Original input is not retained beyond the page session, and processing runs entirely in the browser - the file is never uploaded.
This re-save does not recompress embedded raster images (photos or scans inside the PDF), and there is no compression-level or quality dial to pick - it is one structural pass, not a lossy re-encode. For merging, splitting, rotating, or watermarking a PDF instead, see the related-tools section below.
