Reduce PDF size

Make a PDF file smaller in KB or MB — set the exact size you need, or just make it as small as possible while keeping it readable.

Private by design: your files are processed on your device and never uploaded.

How to reduce PDF size

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. Keep “Reach a size” and pick the KB you need — or switch to “Make it smaller”.
  3. Press “Compress PDF” and download.

Questions

How do I reduce PDF size in KB?

Choose “Reach a size”, pick or type the KB, and press Compress.

Is it safe to reduce a PDF's size here?

Yes. The work happens inside your own browser, so the file is never uploaded to a server — not ours, not anyone's. That makes it safe for contracts, bank statements, ID cards and other private documents.

Is it really free?

Yes — size reduction is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Can I reduce PDF size on my phone?

Yes. It works in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install. It works best in Google Chrome.
