About PDF Compression

Our PDF compression tool processes your file in the browser without sending it to the server. Pages are copied with pdf-lib and saved more efficiently, so you can download the output right away.

The free version includes a daily action limit. For frequent PDF work, Pro offers unlimited compression and additional benefits.

FAQ

Is the PDF uploaded to the server?

No. The PDF is repackaged in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

What is the free limit?

3 actions per day for members. Pro removes the daily limit.

How much smaller will it get?

The reduction depends on the structure of the PDF; in most cases, you will see some size decrease. The difference may be more noticeable in image-heavy PDFs.

Will it work with password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected files may not open. Remove the protection first, then try again.

What this tool does

PDF compression reduces file size so attachments and uploads stay within limits. CodeGrid Tools repackages the PDF locally in your browser, avoiding unnecessary long-term cloud storage of the raw file—especially important for sensitive contracts. Gains depend on structure; image-heavy PDFs often shrink more. Free daily limits and Pro options match the rest of the PDF suite.

Secure. Secure processing
