PDF file
How this tool processes your file
PDF.js renders pages locally when pixels are required; pdf-lib handles PDF creation or structural edits where needed.
Good uses for Compress PDF
- Preparing PDFs for sharing
- Reorganizing document pages
- Creating a new working copy while keeping the original
Important limitation
Raster compression rebuilds pages as images, so selectable text, links, forms and some accessibility information may not remain interactive.
