Shrink PDFs without guessing at quality
A local web app that compresses PDF files at three quality levels with batch queueing and clear before/after size reporting. For anyone who needs to email or upload a PDF that's too big.
Key Features
Pick prepress, ebook, or screen quality depending on whether the PDF is for print or the web.
Drop in multiple PDFs and the queue processes them one at a time with progress indicators.
Every result shows original size, compressed size, and the reduction percentage.
Why We Built This
Online compressors want your documents
Every free PDF compressor asks you to upload your file to someone else's server, then hands back a result you can't explain. We wanted the opposite: a tool that runs on your own machine, uses real DPI presets so each quality level actually means something, and tells you exactly how much it saved.
Low, medium, and high map to Ghostscript's prepress, ebook, and screen presets at 300, 150, and 72 DPI — not vague sliders.
Compressed files expire after 30 minutes with a visible countdown, extendable if you need longer. Nothing lingers.
A client-side queue processes PDFs sequentially with live status, so a folder of documents is one job instead of twenty.
