Quick guide

How to use PDF Compress

PDF Compress offers a structure-preserving repack and a stronger image-based mode for scanned or image-heavy documents. Compare the result before deciding which copy to keep.

Steps

  1. Choose, drop, or paste a PDF from your device.
  2. Select lossless repack or image compression and adjust the quality controls.
  3. Process the file, compare its size, and download the compressed PDF.

Good to know

  • Lossless repack preserves the document structure but may produce only a small reduction.
  • Image compression can make a much smaller file, but it flattens selectable text and links.
  • Large files are limited by the memory available to your browser.
