Questions
How do I reduce the size of a PDF to send it by email?
Compress it here, check the new size, and download it. PDFs with many photos or scans get the smallest.
Why did my PDF not get smaller?
Some PDFs are already small, or have mostly text. In that case there is little to shrink and you simply keep your original file.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on how many files you use and no watermark added to your result.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs inside your browser, so your file never leaves your device. You can read the details on the privacy page.
