Compress PDF.

Optimizes a PDF's internal structure to reduce file size, entirely in your browser. Worth knowing upfront: this works by cleaning up redundant internal data, not by recompressing embedded images — see below for what that means for your file.

What this actually does

This re-saves your PDF using more efficient internal object encoding (object streams), which removes redundant structural data — genuinely useful for PDFs with many form fields, annotations, or that have been edited repeatedly. It does not recompress embedded photos or scanned images, which is usually where most of a PDF's size actually comes from. If your PDF is mostly scanned pages or high-resolution images, expect a small reduction here, not a dramatic one — for that, the underlying images would need to be recompressed individually, which a browser-based tool like this can't do reliably.
