How does Compress PDF work?

Cut PDF file size by re-rendering pages at a lower resolution. Add your files above, adjust anything you want to change, and press the button. The result downloads straight to your device.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read into memory, processed on your device, and discarded when you close the tab.

Do I need an account?

No. Every tool on FileTools360 works without signing up, and there is no watermark on the output.

What is the file size limit?

200 MB per file. Since everything runs locally, your device's available memory is the real constraint.

About these formats

Accepts

Portable Document Format

Fixed-layout documents that look identical everywhere.

Extensions: .pdf
MIME type: application/pdf
Best for: Sharing documents · Printing · Contracts and forms
Compatibility: Universal.

This rasterises each page, so selectable text, links and form fields are lost. If the PDF is mostly text, it may not shrink much — and FileTools360 will tell you rather than hand back a bigger file.
