About Compress PDF
Reduce PDF file size while maintaining quality using Ghostscript
- Input
- Output
- Download the result in the format shown beside its filename. Batch ZIP is available only where the result area offers it.
- Processing
- The current implementation processes the selected files on this device. Processing libraries, language data or models may be downloaded separately; these resource requests do not require uploading the selected file.
- Limits and behavior
- Ghostscript compression can make an already small PDF larger. Compare the actual output size; no compression ratio is promised. File capacity depends on device memory and input encoding. Large or unsupported files can fail; encrypted PDFs may need to be unlocked before use. There is no site-wide file-size guarantee.
Available settings and defaults
- Compression Level: Default Low Compression · Choices: Low Compression · Medium Compression · High Compression
How to use Compress PDF
- Choose a supported file, or add and order files when the tool supports multiple inputs.
- Review the settings, then select Start processing. Wait for the result or a visible error.
- Check the result and download the output. Adjust settings and process again if needed.
