Compress a PDF safely — or shrink a scanned PDF strongly
This tool is built from real submission pain: scholarship portals, visa forms, journal systems and email attachments that reject files for being “too large”. Choose a mode that matches your document. Safe keeps text selectable and only cleans internal structure. Strong rebuilds pages as images (best for scanned PDFs).
Privacy note: your file stays on your device. Processing happens locally in your browser.
