PDF and Word Compressor

PDF and Word files can contain text, images, fonts, metadata, thumbnails, and package data. This tool gives you two practical compression choices: a safer layout-preserving pass and a stronger pass for smaller sharing copies.

Preserve Layout tries to keep the document usable in the same way as the original. Strong Compression may reduce file size more, but it can simplify the file: PDFs are flattened into page images, and DOCX files become clean text-only Word files.

Always open the compressed file once before sending it to a client, teacher, office, or printer. Some already-optimized PDFs and DOCX files may not become smaller with a safe browser-only pass.

If a PDF contains selectable text, forms, links, or vector artwork, use Preserve Layout first. If the file only needs to be viewed or emailed, Strong Compression can be useful because it creates a compact visual copy.
