Good to know: this compressor optimizes the PDF's internal structure and strips unused metadata โ€” it's most effective on PDFs exported from office software. PDFs that are mostly high-resolution scanned images will see smaller gains, since recompressing embedded images isn't done client-side yet.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Will compressing reduce quality?

No โ€” this method doesn't touch text, fonts, or images; it only removes unused metadata and optimizes the file's internal structure.

Why is the size reduction sometimes small?

PDFs that are already optimized, or made up mostly of already-compressed images, have little structural overhead left to remove.
