    How do I reduce the size of a PDF?

    1. Drop your PDFs

      Drag your PDF files into the area above or click “Choose files”. You can add several at once.

    2. Compression starts by itself

      Your browser recompresses each page and shows you the size before and after. Nothing is sent over the internet.

    3. Download the smaller PDF

      Download your files one by one, or all together with “Download all”.

    Why compress a PDF?

    A scanned PDF, or one full of photos, quickly exceeds the size an email service or an online form will accept. To shrink it, Konvizi recompresses each page as an image, sharp enough to read on screen and to print. This works very well on scans and photos; a PDF that contains only text is already small and is left as it is.

    The PDF format

    PDF is the universal document format: it looks the same on every device, keeps its layout and prints without surprises.

    Why process your PDFs with Konvizi?

    Contracts, payslips, bank statements, tax returns: PDFs often hold sensitive information. With Konvizi they never leave your device, are stored nowhere and read by nobody. Most PDF tools copy pages without recompressing them: selectable text, links and quality are preserved.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is compressing a PDF free?

    Yes, completely. No sign-up, no watermark, and no maximum number of files.

    Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

    No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device. Your files are never sent over the internet: nobody but you can see them.

    Is the compressed PDF less sharp?

    Slightly: the pages are saved as images at 144 dots per inch, which stays sharp on screen and in everyday printing. In exchange, the text can no longer be selected or searched, and links are no longer clickable. Keep the original if you need it.

    Why did my PDF not get smaller?

    Because it is already small. A PDF made mostly of text weighs very little: turning it into images would make it larger. In that case, Konvizi tells you so and does not create a new file.

    How can I check that my files are not uploaded?

    Open your browser’s developer tools (F12 key), go to the “Network” tab and run a conversion: no request carries your file. The site also enforces a security rule (Content-Security-Policy) that forbids the browser from contacting any site other than konvizi.com, and konvizi.com is a static site with no service able to receive files.

    Does it work on iPhone and Android?

    Yes. Konvizi works in the browser of your phone or tablet (Safari, Chrome…) just like on a computer, with no app to install. Very large files are processed faster on a computer, which has more memory.
