PDF Compress
Shrink PDF size in batches. Local, fast, no upload.
Free to download, install and update. No signup; all 76 tools are free within daily limits, Pro only lifts the limits.
What it does
BulkPro PDF Compression makes heavy PDFs small for email, web upload or archiving. Scanned documents can drop up to 90%; vector reports gain less. Screen, Office, Print and Lossless profiles let you control quality, and it processes dozens of PDFs at once. Unlike online tools, your files are never uploaded to a server; everything runs on your computer.
How to use it
- 1Drag the PDFs you want to compress onto the list.
- 2Pick a profile: Screen (72 DPI), Office/Email (150 DPI, recommended), Print (300 DPI) or Lossless.
- 3Optionally enable 'Grayscale' or 'Strip metadata'.
- 4Click Run. A compressed copy of each file is produced.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a PDF's size?
Add the PDFs, pick a compression profile (Office/Email recommended) and click Run; a smaller copy of each file is produced.
Does compression hurt quality?
It depends on the profile. Print and Lossless cause no visible degradation; Screen and Office lower image resolution while keeping text crisp.
Are my files uploaded to the cloud?
No. Compression runs locally on your computer; your PDFs are never sent to any server and there is no size or count limit.
