About this tool

Shrinks heavy PDFs, especially scanned documents, by re-rendering each page as an optimised JPEG at the quality you choose and rebuilding the file. Compression of 60-90% is typical for scans.

The trade-off: pages become images, so text stops being selectable. For scanned PDFs that's no loss at all; for text-heavy digital PDFs, try a lighter setting and check the result. Either way the document is processed locally and never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Drop your file(s), they are read locally, never uploaded.
  2. Set the options you need and run the tool.
  3. Download the finished PDF, images or text.
