Compress a PDF
Rewrites the PDF and removes unnecessary structural data. The size reduction depends on the file.
This tool rewrites the PDF: it drops objects nothing refers to any more and saves the rest compactly. You then see the real size before and after.
- Choose your PDF
- Click “Run”
- Check the result and download it
Images are not re-compressed. On image-heavy files the saving is therefore small — we show you the real figure and hand back the original if it did not get smaller.
Frequently asked
What does it cost?
Every tool shows its price before you start. Tools marked free run in your browser and never cost anything — no sign-up needed.
What happens if processing fails?
You are not charged. We only charge when a result is actually produced; if the run fails, the charge is reversed.
What happens to my files?
Uploaded files are processed in memory for that one request and then discarded. We do not store them, and their contents never reach our logs or analytics.
Do you use my own API key?
No. Your BYOK key belongs to the Playground and is never used for these tools.
