About Compress PDF
Each page is converted to an image and recompressed as JPEG into a new PDF. This can cut the size of scanned or image-heavy documents sharply, but text is no longer selectable. For text-only or already small PDFs the result may be larger, so keep the original.
FAQ
Why can’t I select text afterwards?
Pages become images, so this method is unsuitable when searchable text is required.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser; your files and text never leave your device.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
The tool is free and needs no registration.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern desktop and mobile browsers; large files depend on your device power.
