Pages become images. Text will no longer be selectable, and forms and links are removed. If the result is larger, we keep your original.

Compress PDF in your browser

Reduce a PDF's file size by turning its pages into compressed images. Adjust quality to balance document readability and download size, with processing on your device.

How to use compress pdf

  1. Choose the PDF you want to make smaller.
  2. Adjust the image quality setting for the output.
  3. Compress the PDF and review the resulting file size before downloading.

Before you start

Compression rasterizes pages and removes selectable text, forms and links. It is unsuitable when you need to preserve searchable text or interactive fields. If compression makes the file larger, xfiles keeps the original.

Selected files are limited to 150 MB in total. Processing happens locally, and xfiles adds no branding watermark. No account or payment is required. Read the privacy policy.
