Compress PDF
Reduce file size with a choice of compression modes.
Your files are uploaded over HTTPS only after your confirmation. Temporary processing files are deleted after each job; document contents and passwords are not logged. No document history is kept.
Optimization may leave an already efficient PDF unchanged. Image mode rasterizes pages and removes selectable text, forms, and interactive features (up to 20 pages).

Questions about Compress PDF
Can every PDF become smaller?
No. Already optimized files may stay the same size; the tool keeps original bytes when its result is not smaller.
Does image mode preserve editable text?
Image mode rasterizes pages. Their selectable text and interactive features are removed.
