How this PDF compressor works

Each page is redrawn as a JPEG and packed into a new PDF. Scans and photo pages usually get smaller. A short text-only PDF may not. Words on the page become part of the picture, so you cannot select or search them afterward.

Add the PDF.
Lower the quality slider for a smaller file, or raise it if the text looks soft.
Download the compressed PDF and check a page before you send it.

If you only need pictures, PDF to JPG skips the PDF wrapper entirely.

FAQ

Are files uploaded?

No. Pages are redrawn on your device.

Will every file get smaller?

Photo and scan PDFs usually shrink. Tiny text PDFs sometimes do not.

Can I still copy text from the result?

No. Text is baked into the images.

Does lower quality look worse?

Yes. Start near the middle, open the download, and run it again if the type is muddy.
