Free Online PDF Tools - All-in-One PDF Toolkit

Compress, merge, split, convert, rotate, watermark, and extract PDF pages. All tools work directly in your browser with complete privacy.

pdfcompressor.cc is a free toolkit of browser-based PDF tools: compress, merge, split, convert, rotate, watermark, and extract pages from your documents.

Every tool runs entirely on your device. Your files are never uploaded to a server, which keeps private documents private and lets large files process without a slow upload step.

Pick a tool below to get started. Each one works the same way: add your file, choose your options, and download the result in seconds.

Compression alone offers two modes: pick a quality tier for a predictable, balanced reduction, or switch to target-size mode and enter an exact KB or MB limit β€” both are explained in detail further down this page.

Which Tool Do You Need?

Not sure where to start? Match what you're trying to do to the right tool below.

Shrink a file for email or an upload limit

Compress PDF

Pick a quality tier for a balanced reduction, or switch to target-size mode to hit an exact KB or MB limit.

Combine several PDFs into one document

Merge PDF

Add multiple files, reorder them with the up/down controls, and export a single combined PDF.

Send only part of a large PDF

Split PDF or Extract Pages

Split breaks a document into separate files by the page ranges you define. Extract Pages instead pulls out just the pages you choose into a single new, smaller file and discards the rest. Use Split when you need several range-based pieces; use Extract when you only need a subset.

Fix pages that were scanned sideways or upside down

Rotate PDF

Rotate individual pages or the whole document by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

Mark a document as a draft or add branding

Watermark PDF

Add custom text with adjustable font, color, opacity, and position.

Turn PDF pages into images

PDF to Image

Export pages as PNG or JPEG files at your chosen format and resolution.

How Compression Actually Works

Every claim below matches what the engine does in code, not vague marketing promises.

Three Real Compression Tiers

Pick a quality level and the engine re-encodes every embedded JPEG image inside your PDF, then rebuilds the document structure and clears unnecessary metadata. Each tier uses a fixed, predictable recipe rather than a guess.

Low

Re-encodes embedded images at 85% JPEG quality without resizing them. Best when you want a smaller file with almost no visible quality loss.

Medium

Re-encodes images at 70% JPEG quality and downsamples anything wider than 1600 pixels on its longest side. A balanced default for sharing and archiving.

High

Re-encodes images at 50% JPEG quality and downsamples anything over 1200 pixels. Produces the smallest files, ideal for scanned documents and image-heavy PDFs.

Compress to a Target File Size

Instead of choosing a quality tier, tell the tool exactly how small the result should be: 100KB, 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, or any custom size from 10KB upward. The engine renders each page as an image and searches through quality and scale combinations until the output lands at or near your target. This mode converts every page into a picture of itself, so it suits documents where selectable text isn't required. If a target is too aggressive to reach, the tool returns its closest attempt and tells you honestly that the target wasn't fully met, instead of pretending it succeeded.

Runs Entirely in Your Browser

Both compression modes execute inside a Web Worker, using pdf-lib to rebuild the document structure and pdf.js to render pages for target-size mode, all as JavaScript running on your device. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server, so large files skip a slow upload step and sensitive documents never leave your machine.

100% Secure Processing

All PDF compression happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Lightning Fast Compression

Advanced compression algorithms powered by Web Workers provide instant results without compromising quality.
