How to Use Compress PDF

Compress a PDF by re-encoding its pages (images downsampled, streams flattened) and download the smaller version. Great before emailing or uploading large documents.

  1. Open Compress PDF and upload one or more PDF files.
  2. Select the pages, merge order, or compression settings you want.
  3. Process the document — everything runs locally using pdf-lib.
  4. Download your new PDF. Original files are never uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1

How much smaller will it get?

Depends on content — scan-heavy PDFs can shrink 40-70%; text-only PDFs barely shrink since text streams are already compact.
