What is the Compress PDF?
Scanned documents and PDFs made from phone photos are often 5–20 MB, which is too big for email, WhatsApp and most online forms. This tool makes a PDF much smaller by re-saving each page as an optimised image.
Choose Light for the best quality, Recommended for a good balance, or Strong for the smallest file. The compression runs in your browser, so certificates, bank statements and other private papers are never uploaded.
Pick a compression level and the pages are re-saved as lighter images inside a new PDF. Strong compression gives the smallest file, which is ideal for scanned documents and certificates.
When to use it
- Scanned certificates and testimonials for job and admission forms.
- Bank statements and invoices for email.
- Large PDFs that WhatsApp or Messenger refuse to send.
Tips for the best result
- Because pages become images, text can no longer be selected. Keep the original if you need to copy text later.
- If a form has a strict limit, try Strong first, then check that the text is still readable.
