Online portals, email inboxes and job platforms often reject heavy files. This tool shrinks your PDF so it uploads without a fight, while keeping the text sharp and the images readable. It's perfect for immigration files, university applications or invoices you send to clients, where a scanned document can quickly become too big to attach.
On the Free plan, pick one of three presets: light, recommended or strong. AI and Pro subscribers get finer control, with a target file size, the resolution of images and a grayscale option, which works wonders on colour scans that only need to be legible. You can also compress several PDFs in one go, within your plan's limits.
Compression runs on our servers. Your file is processed, then deleted automatically, and you get a temporary download link for the result. The limits that apply to your plan, such as file size, are shown before you upload, so you never wait for nothing. Once your file is lighter, you can merge it with other documents or protect it before sharing, all without a watermark.
