Free Online PDF Compressor

Compress your PDF documents instantly without uploading them to a third-party server. Artboards processes your files entirely locally inside your browser, guaranteeing 100% privacy and security for your sensitive documents.

How Client-Side Compression Works

Standard web browsers cannot natively extract and re-compress individual image streams buried deep inside a PDF. To solve this and deliver massive file size reductions (often over 50%), our tool uses a technique called rasterization. It renders every page of your PDF into highly compressed JPEG images, and reconstructs a brand new, highly optimized PDF file.

This makes our tool ideal for image-heavy presentations, scanned documents, and massive files that need to be sent via email, while ensuring your files never leave your device.
