Compress PDF for WhatsApp

Get your PDF under WhatsApp's 16MB limit. Drop it in, compress, and share — all from your browser.

Compress PDF for WhatsApp

No signup. Files processed in your browser — nothing uploaded.

WhatsApp caps file attachments at 16MB. If your PDF exceeds this limit, you cannot share it. fileGOD compresses your PDF to fit under 16MB by optimizing images and stripping metadata. The process runs entirely in your browser — your document is never uploaded to any server.
