Compress PDF

Shrink a PDF so it fits email and upload limits. Lossless mode tidies the file's structure; the stronger modes re-render pages as compressed images for much bigger savings.

Up to 3 files, 50.0 MB each · Files stay on your device

Balanced and Strong modes turn pages into images, so text is no longer selectable. Use Lossless to keep text.

PDF document
PDF keeps a document's layout identical on every device, which makes it the standard for sharing and printing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan converts up to 3 files at a time, up to 50 MB each. Note05 Pro ($5/month) removes ads and raises the limits to 100 files and 2 GB per file.
