What is Compress PDF?

Compress PDF is a client-side PDF optimization tool designed to reduce file sizes. It strips redundant metadata, cleans content streams, and compresses structures using client-side libraries (pdf-lib), helping you optimize files for email and web upload limits.

File compression runs locally in your browser memory. No files are uploaded or stored, keeping your data secure.
