How is this different from regular compression?
This workflow uses a more aggressive preset to prioritize smaller file size for chat-based sharing.

Frequently asked questions
Will quality drop more than normal compression?
It can, especially for scanned image-heavy files. The tradeoff is much smaller output.
Can I use it for email too?
Yes. It is also useful when strict email size limits apply.
Why is my file not much smaller?
If a PDF is already optimized, additional reduction may be limited.
Does this work without login?
Yes. It works without an account and has no usage limits.
Does this tool upload my file to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser, the same as every other tool on this site. Verify it yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
