Secure & Private

Process uploaded PDF batches securely. We do not permanently store your files on our servers.

Set One Target for the Whole Batch

When every document in a folder must fit the same portal limit, individual compression is slow. Set one KB or MB target for the whole batch before uploading. The tool then works through the group so each PDF is prepared for the same requirement.

Keep Every PDF Reviewable

Bulk compression should not turn invoices, legal exhibits, or slide handouts into unreadable files. Make PDF smaller in batch while keeping text, layouts, and essential graphics clear enough for recipients to review. This matters when the batch is going to clients, students, or court portals.

Handle Large Files Without Repeating Uploads

Large source files should not force you back into a one-by-one workflow. Upload several heavy reports, manuals, or scanned packets and batch shrink PDF files in one session. It is built for teams that need the same compression step repeated across many documents.
