How to compress a PDF file

Choose your PDF, select a compression level (stronger for sharing, balanced for printing), then compress and download the result.

Why reduce PDF size?

Large PDFs can take longer to share or exceed upload limits. Email providers, schools and government portals set different limits; check the destination's current rules before compressing.
