Compress PDF
Shrink a PDF in the browser by rasterizing pages to JPEG. Best for scans and photo-heavy files, not for a text contract you still need to search.
How to use
- 1Drop a PDF (cap around 40 pages in this version).
- 2Pick sharper / balanced / smaller.
- 3Download the new file. Check a page before you delete the original.
FAQ
- Will the text stay selectable?
- Usually no. Pages become images. Use this for scans, not for editable legal PDFs.
- Is the PDF uploaded?
- No. pdf.js and pdf-lib run in this tab.
- Why a page cap?
- Rasterizing every page in the browser is heavy. Very long decks should be split first.
- Is this free?
- Yes. Pulse stays free because of advertising. Ads may appear when you copy, download, or run the main action.
