You don't need to install an app to compress a PDF on your phone. A browser-based tool works on Android and iPhone and keeps your file private.

How to compress a PDF on your phone

  1. Open the Compress PDF tool in your phone browser — Chrome, Safari or any modern browser.
  2. Tap to upload your PDF — Pick it from Files, Downloads or your cloud drive.
  3. Choose a compression level — Recommended for most files.
  4. Download the smaller PDF — It saves to your phone.
💡 Because it runs in the browser, there's no app taking up storage and nothing is uploaded to a server.
Ready? Use the Compress PDF tool — free, and your file never leaves your device.
