Compress PDF

Get any file to the size you need. Privately.

About this tool

Compress PDF when photos or scans inside the file are heavier than they need to be. Light keeps more detail, Recommended is the usual pass, and Strong pushes scans down further. Text drawing commands stay text. A typed contract often shrinks only a little, because the words were already efficient. A scanned packet can shrink a lot. This screen does not promise an exact byte count; the size pages set a goal and still refuse to invent a size the pictures cannot reach. If nothing smaller is possible, you get the original back and a plain sentence that says so.

Compress PDF stays on this device. The download is the copy you keep, and Weesize does not store a second one. Close the tab when you are finished and the bytes are gone.

  • No upload: the PDF is read in memory and is never posted to a server.
  • Speed: the file does not travel to a server and back, so the wait is only the work itself.
  • Quality: the original is kept when the new file would be worse or is not actually smaller.
