Compress PDF

Try a smaller PDF without flattening the pages into images. The tool optimizes PDF packaging and reports the actual before-and-after size.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Run structural compression on this device.
  3. Review the actual size change and download the result.

Before you start

Will scanned PDFs become much smaller?

Not necessarily. This tool does not downsample or recompress scan images, so some files have limited or no savings.

What if the optimized file would be larger?

The tool returns the original current copy instead and explains that no smaller copy was produced. It never labels a larger output as successful compression.
