Compress PDF online privately
PDFit reduces PDF file size by rasterizing each page into a color JPEG image in your browser. Your document is not uploaded to a server.
Compression quality options
- High: prioritizes image quality.
- Balanced: the default balance of quality and size.
- Smallest: prioritizes a smaller file.
Important trade-offs
Flattened compression removes selectable text, links, forms, and vector semantics because every page becomes an image. The result should look similar at normal viewing size, but it is not equivalent to a fully editable source PDF.
Download protection: PDFit validates the rebuilt PDF and does not offer a download when the selected preset does not make the file smaller. Keep the original file for archival use.
