About Extreme PDF Compression

Extreme PDF Compression is here for making a document lighter without wrecking it: maximum size reduction — pages are rebuilt as compact images. It takes PDF and produces PDF. Nothing is sent anywhere: the browser reads the file, does the work and hands the result back.

Start by dropping the PDF you want to work on; the limit is 100 MB per file.

Press Compress PDF and download the PDF result.

Extreme PDF Compression: questions

Is it safe to use for a document with personal details in it?: That is the design goal: the document stays on your device, so a statement, a contract or an ID photo is never transmitted for processing. Nothing here needs an internet connection once the page has loaded, apart from engines that fetch their own model data.
Will it work on a phone?: Yes. The layout adapts to a small screen and the processing runs in the mobile browser, so a photo or a downloaded document can be handled on the device it arrived on.
Will I notice a quality difference?: Re-encoding always costs something, so start at the lighter setting and only push further if the size is still wrong. The before-and-after figures on the page are the honest way to decide.
Is this free, or free until it asks for a card?: Free, with no upsell behind it: no account to create and no file-count quota that appears halfway through a job.
