About this tool

When a PDF is too big to email or upload, this PDF size reducer makes the file smaller in seconds. Choose how much smaller, or use Compress to exact size to hit a limit like 100 KB.

How to compress a PDF

  1. Open your PDF. Drop it on the page or choose it from your device.
  2. Choose how much. Recommended suits most files. Maximum turns pages into pictures, which gives the smallest file but text can no longer be selected.
  3. Download. You'll see the new size before you use it.

Questions people ask

How much smaller will my PDF get?

Photo-heavy PDFs often shrink by 70–90%. PDFs that are mostly text are already small and change less.

Will reducing the size make the text blurry?

No. Only images are compressed; text stays sharp.

Is it free and private?

Yes. It's free, and the PDF never leaves your device.

How much smaller will my PDF get?

PDFs with photos or scans often shrink by 50–90%. PDFs that are mostly text are usually small already and may not shrink much.

Will the text get blurry?

No, except with Maximum. The other levels only compress pictures, so text stays sharp and searchable.

I need it under a set size, like 200 KB.

Use Compress to exact size: type the limit and it finds the best quality that fits.
