Compress PDF
Make a PDF file smaller without a noticeable drop in quality. Easier to email or upload to a portal.
To compress a PDF, upload the file here. We shrink it while keeping the text readable, and you download the smaller copy within seconds. No sign-up needed to try it.
How to use it
Choose the PDF you want to shrink, and we compress it. Then download the smaller file.
When it helps
Many Saudi government portals and job forms cap the upload size. Compressing the file gets it under the limit so the upload goes through.
Common questions
Will this get my file under a portal's upload limit?
It often can. We reduce the size where the PDF has data that packs down, without changing quality. The amount varies by file, so an already-tight or scan-heavy PDF may shrink only a little.
Will compressing lower the quality?
No. We recompress the file's internal data without re-encoding your text or images, so nothing looks worse.
Is my file kept private?
We use it only to create your compressed copy. The result is removed after a while, and it isn't shared with anyone else.
