About this tool

We smartly recompress the images inside your file and leave text and fonts untouched, so the document stays sharp, searchable and copyable. Scanned documents get a special mode for maximum savings.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my file get?

It depends on the content: image-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50–90%, while text-only files are small to begin with.

What if the file doesn’t get smaller?

If it’s already optimized we automatically keep the smaller version, so you never get a bigger file.

Are my files safe?

Yes. There is no server that receives your files; everything is processed in your browser and stays on your device. You can confirm it in the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every tool is free with no daily limits, no sign-up and no watermark on your files.

Does it work on phones?

Yes, it works in any modern mobile or desktop browser, and you can install it as an app from the browser menu.
