How It Works
Step 1: Upload Your PDF
Drag and drop a PDF up to the browser uploader limit (currently 150 MB).
Step 2: Choose an Outcome
Choose Maximum reduction, Strong reduction, Balanced, or Best clarity. Actual savings depend on the PDF.
Step 3: Download the Result
Review the measured result, then download one PDF or a ZIP from the local multi-file workflow.
Why Use This Tool
- Four outcome presets with clear size-versus-clarity trade-offs
- Free local multi-file processing with one ZIP download
- No watermark, account requirement, or daily task counter
- Selected PDFs are processed locally and are not uploaded by this workflow
Common Use Cases
Compress PDF files for email attachments, cloud storage, website uploads, and portal submissions. Use the exact-size links when a portal states a strict limit. After this page and its local PDF engine have loaded, the selected documents are processed in the browser rather than uploaded by the compression workflow.
