Compress PDF

Reduce PDF file size dramatically with Ghostscript optimizations. All processing happens in your browser — your files never leave your device.

PDF compression reduces file size by re-encoding embedded images, removing redundant metadata, and optimizing internal data structures. PDF Forge uses Ghostscript compiled to WebAssembly — the same enterprise-grade engine used by print shops and document management systems for over 30 years — running entirely in your browser. Typical compression ratios range from 30% to 80% depending on content type and compression level.
