PDF Compress
Optimize PDF structure and reduce file size where possible for easier uploads and sharing.
About this pdf compress
PDF compress rebuilds a document to trim structural overhead and reduce file size where the PDF allows it, helping a file slip under an email or upload limit. You compare the new size against the original before deciding to keep it.
How much it saves depends on the file: a PDF that is already optimised, or one dominated by high-resolution images, may shrink only a little. For image-heavy documents, resizing the source images first usually does more than document compression alone.
Common uses
- Reduce PDF file size where document structure allows optimization.
- Prepare PDFs for upload limits, email attachments, and storage.
- Check whether an already-optimized PDF can be saved in a smaller package.
Helpful tips
- Some PDFs are already optimized
- Image-heavy PDFs may need image resizing before document compression
- Compare the output size before replacing the original file
How to use PDF Compress
- Upload the PDF or source files needed for pdf compress.

- Use the preview, status message, or output summary to confirm the result looks right.
- Download the finished file and keep the original file until you have checked the new version.
- Use related PDF tools when the document needs another cleanup step such as merge, split, compress, rotate, or edit.
