About the PDF Compressor
The Freemium.Tools PDF compressor reduces the size of a PDF in your browser so it fits email and upload limits, free and with no watermark.
Most oversized PDFs are heavy because of embedded photos and scans. Compression re-encodes those images at a sensible resolution so the document stays readable while the file becomes far smaller.
The document is processed locally, which matters when the file is a contract, a bank statement or an application form.
How to use it
- 1Upload the PDF. Drop in the PDF you need to shrink.
- 2Choose a compression level. Pick stronger compression for email limits, lighter compression to keep more detail.
- 3Download. Save the smaller PDF.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my PDF get?
Image-heavy and scanned PDFs commonly shrink by 50-80%. A PDF that contains only text is already compact and may barely change.
Will the text still be selectable?
Text-based pages keep their text. Scanned pages were images to begin with, so they stay images.
Why did my PDF not get smaller?
If the file is mostly vector text and fonts there is little left to compress. In that case splitting the document is usually more effective than compressing it.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no sign-up required.
