What is a PDF Compressor Tool?
A PDF Compressor is an online tool that reduces the file size of a PDF document without significantly affecting its readability or visual quality. Large PDF files can be difficult to share via email, upload to websites, or store on devices with limited space. A compressor solves this by applying smart algorithms that strip out redundant data, downsample embedded images, and optimize the internal structure of the PDF.
Toolnex AI's PDF Compressor works entirely in your browser using industry-standard rendering and re-encoding techniques. Your file is never uploaded to any external server — all processing happens locally, ensuring your documents remain private and secure.
Whether you have a scanned document, a presentation with high-resolution images, or a multi-page report, this tool can reduce its size by up to 90% while offering 5 distinct quality levels so you stay in full control of the output.
