Compress a PDF online for free
A PDF with scanned pages or photos can easily be 5 or 10 MB, which is too big for many email services, government portals, exam forms and job sites. This free tool makes the file smaller in your browser. Pick Light, Recommended or Smallest, or tick the exact-size box and type a limit such as 100 KB, 200 KB or 1 MB.
Your PDF is not uploaded anywhere. The pages are read and rewritten on your own phone or computer, so private papers such as certificates, ID cards and bank statements never leave your device.
How to compress a PDF
- Drop your PDF on the box or tap it to choose a file.
- Choose how small you want it: Light, Recommended or Smallest. For a form with a size limit, tick I need an exact size and type it.
- Press Compress PDF and wait a moment while the pages are processed.
- Check the before and after sizes and the first page, then press Download PDF.
What works best
- Scans, photos, certificates and forms made from pictures shrink the most.
- Switch on Black and white for scanned text; it often makes the file noticeably smaller.
- A PDF that is mostly typed text is often small already. Compressing it makes the text a picture, so keep the original for those.
- Need to take a PDF apart first? Use the PDF to Image Converter, or build a PDF with the Image to PDF Converter.
