Compress PDF
Reduce the size of your PDFs so you can send them by email.

Reduce the size of your PDFs so you can send them by email. The tool accepts PDF, ZIP files and works straight from your browser: nothing to install, no account to create.
Under the hood, the work is done by Ghostscript, with image resampling and resource deduplication. The operation is applied directly to the file structure, with no round trip through a conversion: the original content is never re-encoded.
Your files are processed on our European servers and then wiped automatically: they are never read, never kept, and never reused to train anything.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller can a PDF get?
An image-heavy document commonly loses 60 to 90% of its weight. A PDF that is already optimized will not be degraded: in that case we keep the original file.
Does text quality suffer?
No. Text stays vector-based and perfectly sharp. Only the images are resampled.
Do you keep my files?
No. They are deleted automatically from our servers shortly after processing, along with the output file and the download link.
Do I need an account?
No, the tool works right away. An account is only needed to lift the daily limits.
Does the result carry a watermark?
Never. We add no mark of any kind to the files we produce, including on the free plan.
