Reduce PDF file size for email and upload limits. Choose low, recommended, or high compression. Files are deleted from our server immediately after processing.
Reduce PDF File Size
This tool shrinks PDF file size by re-encoding and downsampling embedded images using Ghostscript. Choose Low compression for the best quality, Recommended for a balanced result, or High compression for the smallest possible file — useful for email attachment limits and web uploads.
Privacy Note
Because real compression requires re-encoding, this tool processes your file on our server rather than in your browser. Your file is deleted immediately after the compressed PDF is returned to you — it is never stored, indexed, or shared.
Key Features
- Three compression levels: Low, Recommended, High
- Before/after file size comparison
- Works on scanned and image-heavy PDFs as well as text documents
