A Smallpdf alternative for compressing PDFs
Same goal — a lighter file — without the document leaving your device.
The need is usually urgent and practical: the attachment is over the email limit, or WhatsApp will not send it. The well-known services solve that, but they ask the document to go up to the cloud, and free tiers normally limit how many tasks you run per day before offering the paid plan.
Here the PDF is processed inside your browser: you pick the compression level, see exactly how much the file shrank, and only then download. No daily quota, no sign-up, no watermark — and, above all, no copy of your document sitting in anyone’s cloud.
It works especially well with scanned documents and photo-heavy PDFs, which are exactly the ones that blow past email limits. A PDF that is already optimized text may not shrink — and in that case we tell you there was no gain instead of handing you a bigger file and calling it a success.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller does the file get?
Scanned documents and photo-heavy PDFs usually drop between 50% and 90%. Already optimized PDFs may not shrink, and we say so.
Is there a daily task limit?
No. Daily limits exist when someone pays a server to process your file; here your own device does the work.
Is the text still selectable?
At the stronger levels, no: pages are rewritten as images. If you need selectable text, use the light level or keep the original — the screen warns you first.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. Nothing leaves your browser, which matters when the PDF holds personal data.
