Compress PDF — Make Scans Small Enough to Email

Scanned contracts, phone-photo PDFs and image-heavy reports are often too big to email or upload. Compress them here — in your browser, without sending your documents to anyone — and see exactly how much smaller they get.

Honest note: what this compressor does

Each page is re-drawn as a compressed image. That's what shrinks scans and photos dramatically — often 70–90%. The trade-off: text in the new PDF can't be selected or searched, and links are removed. For a PDF that is mostly typed text, the result may not be smaller, and the tool will tell you so.

Which level should I pick?

Strong — for upload limits (e.g. 2 MB government forms).
Balanced — readable on screen, good for email.
Light — closest to the original, for printing.

Quick answers

Is it safe for confidential documents?

Yes — the PDF is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Why didn't my PDF get smaller?

Text-only PDFs are already small; turning pages into images can't beat that. Keep the original.

How to use PDF Tools

Pick a tab: Merge, Extract / delete / split pages, Rotate, or Images → PDF.
Drop your files in. Nothing is uploaded — the PDF engine runs in your browser.
Choose the pages or options, then download the new PDF.

Why use a private PDF tool?

Most online PDF tools upload your file to their server. Contracts, bank statements, invoices and ID scans shouldn't have to leave your device.
No sign-up, no file-size paywall, no watermark.
Fast: nothing to upload or download except the finished file.

Privacy

PDF Tools processes your files entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, an open-source PDF library (MIT license) loaded from jsDelivr. Only the library code is downloaded; your PDFs and images are never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Merging, splitting, rotating and converting all happen inside your browser. QuickTiny never receives your files.

How do I write page ranges?

Use commas between items and a dash for ranges: 1-3, 5, 8- means pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and everything from 8 to the end.

Can it open password-protected PDFs?

Not yet. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then use the tools here.

Does merging reduce quality?

No. Pages are copied as-is, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.

Is there a size limit?

There's no fixed limit; very large PDFs (hundreds of MB) depend on your device's memory.
