PDF compressor
Make a big scanned or photo-heavy PDF small enough to email or upload.
This works by turning each page into a compressed image, so the text in the new file is no longer selectable or searchable. Keep your original. It is best for scans, receipts and photo PDFs.

Common questions
Why is the text not selectable after compressing?
To shrink the file this tool converts pages to images. For scanned documents that makes no difference, but a text-based PDF will lose selectable text.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. It is processed in your browser.
