Shrink a PDF by re-rendering each page as a compressed image at your chosen quality — effective for scanned or image-heavy PDFs.

Scanned documents and PDFs full of photos are often too large to email or to upload to a job portal or government form. This PDF compressor rebuilds each page at a lower image quality, which can shrink scan-heavy files a lot.
Pick a quality level, compress, and compare the size before and after. A medium setting is usually still easy to read. Because pages are re-rendered as images, text in the compressed file can no longer be selected or searched, so keep your original as well.
Compression happens on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, there is no file-size paywall and you do not need an account.
No. This method rasterizes each page to an image to reduce size, so text is no longer selectable or searchable afterwards. For text-heavy PDFs where you need to keep selectable text, this trade-off may not be worth it.
It depends heavily on the original PDF — scanned or image-heavy documents usually shrink the most.
