Compress PDF Privately
Try structural PDF optimization, or explicitly choose scan-style compression with a maximum file size.

One PDF at a time; no fixed page-count limit. Files are kept in memory only.
Scan-style output replaces pages with images. Searchable text, form fields, links and digital signatures are removed. Use a copy and check every page.

Processing stays in this browser. Use Unlock PDF first for password-protected files. Your original files are unchanged.
Eligible PDF copies include the original colorful logo with Made, Scanned or Printed with FileFatafat branding in a verified clear area or added footer space. Protected originals, strict formats and size limits take priority. Standalone image exports have no visible watermark. Generated download names include _FileFatafat once. Originals are unchanged.
Pick the size your portal asks for
Enter any maximum from 10 KB to 20 MB, or open a preset: 100 KB, 200 KB, 300 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB. You can also set a minimum size for forms that give a range, such as 50–300 KB.
The PDF is compressed in your browser. It is not uploaded, which matters for certificates, ID proofs and bank documents.
How to use compress PDF
Choose files, review the pages and options, then prepare and download. Clear files to start a fresh session.
Check the requirements on your form
PDF editing can invalidate digital signatures and may affect interactive fields, links or annotations. For signed or official originals, use a copy and inspect the output.
Will my file be uploaded?
No. Processing happens in your browser, including PDF rendering, scanning and ZIP creation. Tool code is downloaded from this website; the documents you select are not sent back.
Can every file reach the requested size?
No. A size limit is a maximum, not an exact guarantee. Detailed or multi-page documents may need a larger limit to remain readable. One KB here is 1,000 bytes. Check clarity and any minimum file size before submission.
Which compression method should I use?
Try Preserve text first. Use Scan-style only when the file is still too large, and check every page afterwards because pages become images.
Why is my scanned PDF so large?
It usually holds full-resolution phone photos. Scan-style compression re-encodes those images, which is where most of the saving comes from.
