Large PDF files are hard to email and slow to load. ToolForte's free PDF compressor reduces file size while keeping your documents readable.
Everything happens in your browser - your files never leave your device.
Step 1: Open the PDF Compress Tool
Go to the PDF Compress tool on ToolForte. It works entirely in your browser - no software to install.
Step 2: Upload Your PDF
Click the upload area or drag and drop the PDF file you want to compress.
Step 3: Choose Compression Level
Select your preferred compression level. Higher compression reduces file size more but may slightly reduce image quality.
