Our Mission
We build free, privacy-first PDF tools that anyone can use in a browser — no signup, no installation, and no need to trust a server with your documents. Every tool runs entirely on your own device, so your files stay under your control from the moment you open them to the moment you download the result.
Why Client-Side Processing Matters
Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server, process it there, and send the result back — which means your document exists, at least briefly, on someone else's infrastructure. We chose a different design: pdfcompressor.cc processes PDFs entirely in your browser using Web Workers. Your files are never transmitted over the network and never stored on a server. When you close the tab, the data is gone.
Our Technology
The tools are built with pdf-lib for reading and writing PDF structure, running inside Web Workers so that heavy processing does not block the page. The site is built with Next.js and TypeScript. Compression works by downsampling raster images and re-encoding object streams to reduce file size while keeping text crisp and selectable.
What You Can Do Here
The core tool is PDF compression — making files smaller while keeping them readable. Beyond that, you can merge several PDFs into one, split a PDF into smaller parts, rotate pages, add watermarks, extract specific pages, and convert PDF pages to images. Every tool runs on the same client-side engine, with no upload and no queue.
How It Works
Our PDF compressor uses advanced algorithms to reduce file sizes while maintaining quality. The entire process happens locally in your browser using Web Workers for optimal performance.
We support three compression levels to give you control over the balance between file size and quality. All processing is done client-side, ensuring your documents never leave your device.
The tool is built with modern web technologies including Next.js, TypeScript, and pdf-lib to provide a fast, reliable, and secure experience.
