Compress a PDF
Fix
Pick the problem you have. Each fix uses a free tool that runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device and you don't need an account.
Compress it. Preserve mode keeps text selectable and links working. Aggressive mode turns pages into images and usually shrinks scans much more, but text is no longer selectable. If one PDF is still too large, split it into smaller files.
Most size limits are easiest to meet by reducing the pixel dimensions first, then compressing. Resize the image, then compress it and check the new file size before you upload.
Many upload forms only accept JPG or PNG. Convert WebP, AVIF or PNG images to JPG, or convert iPhone HEIC photos to JPG. AVIF files saved from websites are a common cause.
iPhones save photos as HEIC, which many Windows PCs, websites and older apps can't open. Convert them to JPG. You can convert up to 50 photos at once and download them as a ZIP.
Turn HEIC photos into a single PDF, one photo per page. Use Images to PDF if you are mixing HEIC with JPG or PNG images.
Add the images, put them in the right order and create one PDF. Each image becomes a page and nothing is cropped. Works with JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and iPhone HEIC photos.
Merge them in the order you choose, then compress the result if it is too large to send.
Extract saves the pages you pick, such as 1, 3-5, as one new PDF. Split turns a PDF into separate files, one per page or one per range.
Remove the pages you don't want and download the rest as a new PDF. Your original file is not changed.
Rotate all pages or just the selected ones, then download the corrected file.
Turn PDF pages into PNG or JPEG images, for example to post a page online or put it in a slide.
Pull the text layer out of a PDF as plain text. Scanned PDFs that are only images have no text layer, so this won't work for them.
