About Compress PDF
Email bouncing because your PDF is too big? This free PDF compressor shrinks bulky PDFs — scanned documents, image-heavy reports, presentations — so they fit under email and upload limits while staying readable. Upload your file and it's optimised on our servers using the compression that gives the best size-to-quality balance, then you download a lighter PDF. It's perfect for sending contracts and invoices, attaching documents to web forms that cap file size, or saving storage space, all without installing Acrobat or any desktop software.
