Key Features

Whole-page re-sampling

Renders each page at a lower resolution and rebuilds the document from compressed JPEG page images.

Designed for scanned PDFs

Scanned and image-heavy files often shrink most. Actual savings depend on the source document and selected level.

Private Processing

We respect your privacy. All compression occurs locally inside your browser sandbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Recommended and Extreme compression?

Recommended uses a larger page render and 75% JPEG quality. Extreme uses a smaller render and 50% JPEG quality, producing a smaller but softer result.

Will text layers stay searchable?

No. This browser implementation converts each complete page to an image. Use it when smaller size matters more than searchable text, selectable text, links or form fields.
