Pages are re-rendered as optimized images: ideal for scanned or image-heavy PDFs. Text stops being selectable.
How it works
Reduce the size of a PDF by re-rendering its pages as optimized images, with three quality levels. It shines with scanned or image-heavy documents. Heads-up: the text stops being selectable (this is how most client-side compressors work). Everything runs in your browser: the file is never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose much quality?
You choose between three levels, from high quality to smallest size, and you see the savings before/after.
Why is the text no longer selectable?
Pages are converted to optimized images to shrink the file. For text-only PDFs the gain is small; it works best on scans and image-heavy files.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser.
