Why use this tool
Up to 90% smaller
Image-heavy PDFs regularly shrink from 20 MB to under 2 MB with no visible quality difference.
Three quality presets
High, Medium, or Low — pick the one that balances quality and size for your use case.
Hit an exact file size
Enter a target size like 2 MB and the tool finds the best quality that still fits under your limit.
Files never uploaded
Compression runs in your browser. Confidential documents never reach a server.
Text stays sharp
Only embedded images are re-encoded. Text stays selectable and links still work.
Compress PDFs without uploading them
Most online compressors upload your PDF to a cloud server, wait in a queue, then email you a download link. That's slow and not private.
MyEasyPDF compresses entirely in your browser — no upload delay, no privacy trade-off, and no limit on how many files you compress.
