Recompresses images, optimizes fonts and removes unused data. Text stays selectable, and links and form fields keep working. Runs on your device with the open-source Hyper Compress engine.
Qpdf looks for the best quality that fits and tells you if the target cannot be reached. Leave empty to use the level as is.
Fine-tune the compression engine. Picking a compression level resets these, except Override content protection, Convert to grayscale, Preserve PDF/A, and Brotli.

Many portals cap uploads at 1 MB per file. This preset targets 1 MB and keeps text selectable while recompressing images as needed.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory, and saved back to your device — it is never uploaded to Qpdf or anyone else. Once this page has loaded, the tool also works with your internet connection switched off.
