Compress PDF — free, private, in your browser

Reduce the size of a PDF so it's easy to email or upload, without sending it to anyone first. TaimurTools re-encodes the embedded images at a lower quality right inside your browser, so the compression happens on your device and your file is never uploaded to a server. No signup, no watermark, no daily limit. Great for shrinking scanned documents, image-heavy reports, and presentations below attachment limits while keeping your data private.
