Guides about this tool

Compress PDF: common questions

How much smaller will my PDF get?

Scanned documents and photo-heavy PDFs often shrink by half or more. PDFs that are mostly text may not get smaller; the tool tells you if so.

Will the text still be selectable?

No. Pages are saved as images, so text can’t be selected or searched. That suits scanned documents and photos best.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. It’s compressed in your browser, so it stays private.
