Compress PDF Online
Reduce PDF file size in your browser. Honest note: this rewrites the PDF and removes metadata; it cannot magically recompress embedded images, so results vary.
Honest note: This tool re-saves your PDF and strips metadata. For image-heavy PDFs the reduction may be small. To shrink those, first reduce the source images, then rebuild the PDF.

Why did my PDF barely shrink?
Image-heavy PDFs are already compressed inside; re-saving mainly removes metadata and structure overhead.
Will text become blurry?
No, this tool does not re-render pages, so text quality is unchanged.
