Compress PDF
Reduce a PDF's file size by stripping metadata and rebuilding its structure.
Heads up: This strips metadata and rebuilds the file structure for real but modest savings. It does not recompress embedded images, so heavily image-based PDFs won't shrink much.
Files are processed and deleted automatically — nothing is kept after 2 hours, sooner once you download.

FAQ
It depends on the file — PDFs with a lot of metadata shrink more; heavily image-based PDFs see only modest gains, since embedded images aren't recompressed.
