How to compress a PDF

Select the PDF file you wish to compress from your device, or simply drag and drop it directly into the designated drop zone.

Select 'Extreme' for maximum size reduction, 'Recommended' for a perfect balance of quality and size, or 'Less' for lossless structural compression.

Click 'Compress PDF' to securely process your file. Once finished, instantly download your vastly smaller, optimized document.

Drop the large PDF you need to make smaller into the upload box.

Choose between Extreme (smallest file size), Recommended (good balance), or Less (best quality).

Click "Compress" and grab your optimized file.

How small will my file get?▼

It really depends on what's in the PDF. Files with lots of images shrink the most—often by 50% to 80%. Text-heavy PDFs usually shrink by 10% to 30%.

If you choose "Extreme," images might lose some sharpness to save space. "Recommended" keeps things looking good while still shrinking the file.
