How to Use This Tool
- 1
Upload Your PDF File
Select or drop your PDF document. We immediately display its exact original file size and page count.
- 2
Select Optimization Mode
Choose 'Structural Optimization (Lossless)' to strip unused objects and compress PDF object streams while keeping text selectable, or 'Rasterize Pages (Lossy)' with your desired quality level for scanned PDFs.
- 3
Process & Compare Sizes
Run the optimization locally and review the exact original size versus final size and percentage change.
- 4
Download the Optimized File
Download the resulting PDF. If structural optimization cannot shrink an already compact file further, we clearly inform you.
Key Features & Capabilities
Clear Distinction: Structural vs. Raster
Structural mode cleans unused objects, removes metadata overhead, and packs PDF streams losslessly. Optional Raster mode renders pages as compressed images at selectable DPI/quality.
Transparent Quality Warnings
When selecting optional rasterization, the interface clearly warns that visual sharpness decreases and selectable text/hyperlinks are flattened into images.
Honest Size Reporting
We never fake compression metrics. You see the exact byte count before and after processing, and we alert you if a file is already maximally optimized.
100% Local Processing
Both structural stream packing and canvas rasterization occur strictly inside your browser without uploading files.
