Optimize PDF Tools
Optimize tools make PDFs smaller and more reliable. Compress large documents for email or web forms, or re-save damaged files into a clean copy. Processing happens on your device, which keeps sensitive documents private.
Compress PDF
Compress PDF reduces file size so documents are easier to email or upload. Choose a mode that preserves selectable text, or a stronger mode that shrinks images for maximum reduction, and compare the before and after sizes. Compression happens locally in your browser.
Repair PDF
Repair PDF attempts to fix PDFs that open with errors by re-reading them leniently and saving a clean copy. It works best on files that are still partly readable. The repair is best-effort and runs entirely in your browser without uploading the document.
Flatten PDF
Flatten PDF makes filled form fields, comments, highlights, and stamps a permanent part of the page so they can no longer be changed and look the same in every viewer. Links are kept. Flattening runs locally in your browser with no upload.
OCR PDF
OCR PDF makes scanned documents searchable by recognizing the text on each page and adding an invisible text layer. The original pages stay exactly as they are, but you can now search, select, and copy the text. Recognition runs in your browser for 18 languages.
