This compress PDF tool rewrites a supported PDF with optimized document structures. It may help some files, but it does not perform advanced image downsampling or guarantee a smaller output.

How to use Compress PDF online

  1. Choose a PDF file from your device.
  2. Select Optimize PDF.
  3. Wait for the processed document to download.
  4. Compare the original and output file sizes before using the result.
Helpful tip: Large scanned PDFs often need image recompression to become much smaller. Keep the original in case the optimized file is larger.

Important: Basic optimization cannot guarantee compression. The output may be the same size or larger, and it may not remove image data that dominates a scanned PDF.

Frequently asked questions about Compress PDF

How do I compress a PDF online?

Choose your PDF and run the optimization control. Then compare the output size with the original. This basic PDF compressor may reduce some files, but it does not guarantee a size reduction.

Why is my compressed PDF larger than the original?

Rewriting the file can add structural overhead, and a basic optimizer may not recompress images. Try keeping the original; advanced image compression is needed for some PDFs.

Can this reduce the size of a scanned PDF?

Only in limited cases. Scanned PDFs are often large because of embedded images. Meaningful reduction may require image resizing or recompression, which this basic tool may not provide.

Will compressing a PDF reduce its quality?

This basic structural optimizer is not intended to downsample image quality, but the exact result depends on the input and library. Review output quality and file size before deleting the original.

What is the best way to reduce PDF size for email?

Try the optimizer, then check the file size. If the PDF remains too large, export images at a lower resolution or use a trusted PDF application with image-compression controls.
