How to compress PDF files

  1. Add your file

    Drop PDF files into the box above or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded — everything stays on your device.

  2. Choose your options

    Adjust the settings that appear once your files are added.

  3. Click “Compress”

    The processing runs locally in your browser. How long it takes depends on the file size and your device.

  4. Download the result

    Save the output straight to your device. We never keep a copy, because we never receive one.
