Privacy-first by design
ShrinkPDF is built for sensitive documents. Compression happens in-browser where possible, so your file stays on your device. We do not require accounts, and we do not store your PDFs on our servers.
Some PDFs are already optimised, so size reduction may be limited. We communicate this clearly after each compression.
