Set a target in MB and hit exactly that size. 100% free — no login, no email, no sign-up. Processed in your browser, never sent to any server.
Most tools compress your PDF "as much as possible" and you hope it's enough. PDF Shrink works the other way around: you set a target size in MB, and it automatically finds the highest quality that fits under your limit. Need a file under 1 MB, 2 MB or 500 KB? You get exactly that.
No login, no email, no sign-up of any kind. No watermark, no page limit, no daily cap. PDF Shrink is completely free and will stay free.
Everything is processed locally in your browser. Proof: once the page has loaded, you can turn off your internet — compression still works.
Can I compress a PDF to exactly 1 MB?
Yes — set the target to 1 MB and the app finds the highest quality that fits. If your PDF is already smaller, you get it back untouched.
Is it really private?
Yes. Your file is processed by your own browser and never sent anywhere. There is no server to receive it.
Does text stay selectable?
No — pages become images to hit the size target. That's ideal for scans and contracts submitted through forms, less so if you need searchable text.
