Compress PDF in your browser
Reduce PDF file size locally by rebuilding pages as optimized images. This is useful for scans and image-heavy PDFs.
Important trade-off
Simple compression can make files smaller, but text may no longer remain selectable or searchable. For contracts or documents where searchable text matters, keep an original copy.

Why browser-only matters
Compression often involves scans, bills, and signed documents. PDFTechnician is designed so the file is handled by your browser rather than uploaded first.
