Make a PDF smaller

Shrink the file so it is easier to send.

Free to use. No sign-up. Your files never leave your device.

How it works

  1. Choose the PDF you want to make smaller.
  2. Choose how small: a little, much smaller, or as small as possible.
  3. Press "Make it smaller". You will see the old and new size before you save.

Questions people ask

Why did my PDF not get smaller?

The first two choices shrink the photos inside a PDF. A PDF with no photos, or with scans and screenshots, may not shrink that way. "As small as possible" works on those, but it turns each page into a picture.

Will it look worse?

"A little smaller" looks the same. The other two make photos softer.
