Shrink your PDF files

Need to make a PDF smaller for email, a portal, or just to save space? CompressEasy Desktop shrinks PDFs by optimizing their embedded images, locally and in batches, with no watermarks and nothing uploaded.

Shrink PDFs offline with the free CompressEasy Desktop app for macOS and Windows.

Available in the free desktop app

Videos over 200 MB and PowerPoint decks run fully offline with bundled FFmpeg. PDF compression stays local and requires Ghostscript.

How it works

Open CompressEasy Desktop and drag your PDFs in.
Choose a compression strength.
Save the smaller PDFs to any folder.

Batch-shrink many PDFs

Drop a folder of reports or invoices and shrink them all in one pass instead of one-by-one through a website.

No watermarks, no limits to share

Unlike many free web tools, CompressEasy Desktop never stamps a watermark on your output and never holds your file on a server.

Pick the right balance

Three presets let you choose between keeping print quality and reaching the smallest possible size.
