.pdf · Works best on scanned or image-heavy PDFs

Runs 100% in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device.
How it works: Each page is re-rendered as an optimized image, then reassembled into a new PDF. Text will no longer be selectable — this is a trade-off for the size reduction. Best for scanned documents, image-heavy PDFs, and print files.
