Professional PDF Compressor: Reduce File Size Without Losing Quality

We have all been there: You are trying to email a crucial report, stick to a strict upload limit for a job application, or save storage space on your phone, but the file is just "too big." PDF files often become bloated with high-resolution images and embedded fonts that aren't necessary for screen viewing. Our Compress PDF tool solves this problem instantly. Our intelligent compression tool balances image quality with file size, ensuring your documents remain sharp and professional while becoming easy to share.

How Our Compress PDF Tool Works?

Here is what happens under the hood when you upload a file:
  • Intelligent Downsampling: We identify images within the PDF and optimize their DPI (dots per inch) for web and screen viewing, removing unnecessary data density that the human eye cannot see.
  • Font Optimization: We strip out unused font characters and subsets to reduce overhead.
  • Structure Cleaning: Redundant metadata and object streams are removed.
