Compress PDF

Too big to email? Re-render the pages to leaner images and shrink the file. Great for scanned or picture-heavy PDFs.

Honest note: this rebuilds each page as an image, so the output is image-based. Best for scans and photos; text-only PDFs may barely shrink.

About this tool

A scanned contract at 40 MB is a pain — half the email servers bounce it, and your phone chokes opening it. This tool shrinks PDFs by re-rendering each page as a tighter image, then handing you one smaller file.

Lower the quality slider for a smaller result. It runs entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your machine. Heads up: because pages become images, the result is best for scans and photo PDFs — a pure-text PDF won't shrink much. Anyway, give it a try. ☕
