To compress PDF files, upload your document and choose your preferred compression level. Our tool optimizes the PDF by removing unnecessary elements and compressing images while maintaining readability. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Is it Safe to Compress PDF Files Online?

Yes, completely safe. All PDF compression happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to any server, ensuring 100% privacy. We cannot access your documents, and they are processed instantly on your device.
