  • On-device only

    PDF tools run in the browser — the document never leaves your phone or computer.

  • No file upload

    During processing the file body does not go over the network. Save mobile data: you are not shipping megabytes to someone else’s server.

  • No ads

    We do not show ads and we do not accept your files. We physically never see your documents.

  • We don’t store files

    We do not save PDFs on a server or in the cloud. Open, process, download.

How it works

Your PDF stays in browser memory and is not sent to our server during processing. Opening the site still downloads the page as usual. For visit stats we may use Google Analytics: page, device type, button clicks — not file names or document contents. Language choice may be remembered in the browser. Analytics cookies are Google’s; you can limit them in browser settings. You can also press Offline in the header to cache this language’s tool pages and engines on your device; your files are still not uploaded.

We shrink PDFs on your device: each page is rendered and saved as JPEG inside a new PDF. That cuts size for scans and heavy documents.

Important: after strong compression, text is usually no longer selectable — pages become images. Use a lighter level if you need selectable text, or keep the original.

The file body never goes to our server.

For techies

PDF pages are rendered with PDF.js into Canvas, encoded as JPEG, and rebuilt with pdf-lib. After strong compression, text is usually not selectable. While processing, Network only shows site static assets — your PDF body is not uploaded to our origin.

FAQ

Why can’t I select text?

Strong compression re-renders pages as JPEG. That is how client-side shrink works without a server Ghostscript.

Are files uploaded?

No. Processing runs in your browser on this device.

Do I need an account?

No. Choose a file and download the result.

Which libraries?

Open source: pdf-lib and PDF.js (Mozilla). Passwords use @pdfsmaller (MIT).
