About this tool
Reduce the size of a PDF by re-encoding its pages as optimized images. This works best for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs. Pick a compression level to balance size and quality. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Will the text still be selectable?
This compressor rasterizes pages into images, so text becomes part of the image and is no longer selectable. It is ideal for scans and image-based PDFs.
Which level should I pick?
"Recommended" is a good balance. Choose "Strong" for the smallest size or "Light" to keep more detail.
