How to compress a PDF online

  2. Choose Balanced or Maximum compression — both run locally in your browser.
  3. Click compress and download the reduced file. If the PDF is already optimized, the original is kept.

Frequently asked questions

Does compressing upload my PDF?

No. PDFSnap compresses PDFs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Will compression reduce quality?

Image-heavy PDFs are re-rendered as JPEG pages. Balanced keeps better quality; Maximum produces the smallest file. Text-only PDFs may not shrink much.

Is PDF compression free?

Yes. No account, subscription, or usage limits.

Why is my compressed file the same size?

If the PDF is already optimized or mostly text, recompression may not help. PDFSnap downloads the original when the output would be larger.
