Compress PDF

Our Compress PDF tool is a free online service that allows you to reduce the file size of your PDF documents while maintaining reasonable quality. Whether you need to meet file size upload limits, save storage space, or improve loading times for web-shared PDFs, our compression tool provides an easy solution.

Unlike other PDF compression tools, our service processes your files entirely in your browser using JavaScript libraries like pdf-lib.js. This means your files never leave your computer, ensuring maximum privacy and security. There's no need to upload your sensitive documents to a remote server or worry about data breaches.

How Our PDF Compression Works:

Our tool uses several techniques to reduce PDF file size:

• Image Optimization: We compress images within the PDF using efficient algorithms that reduce size while preserving visual quality. You can control the image quality level to find the right balance between file size and appearance.
• Metadata Removal: We strip unnecessary metadata from the PDF that doesn't affect the document's content but takes up space.
• Font Subsetting: We include only the characters used in the document rather than embedding entire font files.
• Content Optimization: We optimize the internal structure of the PDF to remove redundancies and improve efficiency.

The compression level you choose determines how aggressively these techniques are applied:

• Low Compression: Focuses on lossless techniques that don't affect quality, such as metadata removal and structure optimization. Best for documents where quality is critical.
• Medium Compression: Applies moderate image compression and other optimizations for a good balance between quality and file size reduction. Suitable for most general-purpose documents.
• High Compression: Uses more aggressive image compression and optimization techniques to maximize file size reduction. Best for documents where smaller size is more important than preserving perfect image quality.
