About this tool

The PDF compressor sends the selected document to the Tools12345 self-hosted PDF service, applies document optimization, and returns a downloadable PDF. Results vary because scanned images, fonts and existing compression affect how much space can be saved.

Start processing and wait while the self-hosted service optimizes the document.
Download the compressed PDF and check its text, images, links and final file size.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my PDF become?

There is no fixed ratio. Scanned pages and large images often offer more savings than text PDFs that are already optimized.

Will compression remove pages or text?

It should preserve the document structure, but image quality or embedded resources can change. Review the downloaded file before deleting the original.

Is PDF compression performed in my browser?

No. This operation uses the self-hosted PDF processor, unlike browser-local developer and image tools.
