Government portals, universities, and job sites often require PDFs under 2MB. This free tool compresses your PDF in the browser by re-rendering each page at a lower resolution and rebuilding the file with smaller image data. No upload to any server—your document never leaves your device. Using PDF.js to render pages and jsPDF to rebuild, the result is a smaller file that usually remains readable for screens and printing.

Select your PDF and click Compress PDF. Processing may take a few seconds for large files. The tool preserves page order and layout while reducing the resolution of the content, which significantly cuts file size when the original contains high-resolution images or scans. Download the compressed PDF when ready. If the result is too small or blurry, try compressing a copy and keeping the original for archival.

Compressing PDFs is one of the most requested tasks after merging. This tool is free, requires no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser. Use it for submissions, email attachments, or any case where you need a smaller PDF while keeping your data private.
