How PDF Compressor works
Reduce PDF file size locally with privacy-first optimization. The workflow below reflects the actual inputs, outputs and limits of this specific tool.
- What you provide
- A PDF document.
- What AG File Tools returns
- A structurally optimized PDF when the rewritten file is smaller, otherwise the original-sized result with an honest explanation.
- Practical limit
- Browser-side structural optimization cannot substantially shrink PDFs dominated by already-compressed images or scanned pages.
