How to Compress PDF
Upload Your PDFs
Drop up to 10 PDF files (max 50 MB each) into the tool or use the file browser to select them from your device.
In-Browser Compression
The tool processes each PDF locally, re-encoding embedded images and removing unnecessary objects to reduce overall file size.
Download Lighter PDFs
Check the compression ratio for each file and download the optimized versions, ready for sharing or archiving.
Why use fileGOD?
Handles Large Files
Each PDF can be up to 50 MB, making the tool suitable for scanned documents, reports with embedded graphics, and presentation decks.
Multi-File Batch
Process up to 10 PDFs in one go. Every file is compressed independently so you can review savings file by file.
Complete Confidentiality
Documents are processed entirely on your device. No cloud, no intermediary — your contracts, invoices, and personal files remain strictly private.
Shrink PDF files directly in your browser without sacrificing document integrity. This client-side compressor re-encodes embedded images and strips redundant internal objects to deliver meaningfully smaller files that are easier to email, upload, and archive. Since every byte of processing happens on your device, sensitive documents like contracts, tax forms, and medical records never leave your control — there is no upload and no server-side storage. Handle up to 10 files at once with a generous 50 MB per-file limit, making it a practical choice for both personal and professional document management.
