Make a PDF smaller without a watermark

MyPDF compresses PDFs on the server with Ghostscript so you can pick a quality level. High quality keeps more detail. Extreme compression makes the smallest file.

The original and the result stay on the server only long enough for you to download them. We delete those files after 60 minutes and do not use them for ads or training.

Free accounts get 5 jobs a day. Pro and Team raise the file-size cap and the daily job pool. The same job is available from the API if you need it in a script.
