Compress PDF

Make PDFs smaller while keeping text sharp.

Shrink PDFs for email or portal uploads. Choose a compression level or an exact maximum size, for example 200 KB.

How to use it

1. Choose one or more PDFs.
2. Pick a level, or «Exact size» and the limit in KB.
3. Compress and see how much smaller the file got.

When it helps

• Meet the 1 or 2 MB limit of an application portal.
• Send a heavy scan by WhatsApp or email.

Limitations

• Text-only PDFs are already light and barely shrink.
• At the maximum level pages become images and text is no longer selectable.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the exact size sometimes not reached?

If the limit is very low, the only way would be to make the document unreadable. In that case we show the smallest readable size and tell you.

Is text still searchable?

Yes at the light, recommended and strong levels, because only images are recompressed.
