About this tool

Compression works in two ways. First a lossless re-save packs the file more tightly, keeping text, links and quality; that helps bloated PDFs from some apps. If that isn't enough, each page is redrawn as a compressed picture at 72, 110 or 144 dpi, which shrinks scans and photo-heavy PDFs a lot. The tool keeps whichever is smaller and never hands back a file bigger than yours.

Be aware of the trade-off: when pages become pictures, text can no longer be selected, searched or copied. That's fine for scans and most form uploads, but keep your original for anything you need to edit. With a target size, the tool searches for the best quality that fits, and tells you plainly if the target can't be reached while keeping text readable.

Your PDF is processed inside your browser and never uploaded, so it's safe for certificates, ID proofs and bank statements.

हिंदी में मदद

PDF का साइज़ घटाएँ: क्वालिटी चुनें या 200 KB जैसा टार्गेट लिखें। फ़ाइल कभी बड़ी नहीं होगी। ज़्यादा कम्प्रेशन में पेज इमेज बन जाते हैं, इसलिए टेक्स्ट सेलेक्ट नहीं होता।

Questions

Why can't I select text after compressing?

Strong compression saves each page as a picture. It looks the same but has no text layer. If the tool says “Lossless”, text is untouched.

Why didn't my PDF get smaller?

Some PDFs are already efficient, for example text-only documents. The tool won't give you a bigger file, so it tells you the original is the best version.

How do I reach an exact size like 100 KB?

Choose “Aim for a size” and type 100. The tool tries settings from best to smallest and keeps the best one under 100 KB.

What if the target can't be reached?

You get the smallest readable version and a clear note. Splitting the PDF or removing pages usually gets you under the limit.
