Why we built this tool

We noticed most online PDF tools require uploading sensitive documents to remote servers. Since privacy is our core principle, we built our PDF suite to process everything locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.

About PDF Compressor: what you should know

Administrative staff and paralegals assembling document packages for clients or courts. When you need to merge, split, or reorder pages across multiple PDFs, doing it in the browser is faster than opening each file in a desktop reader one by one.

Key features

  • Zero Server Upload — All PDF processing runs locally in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js. Confidential contracts and personal documents never touch an external server.
  • Visual Page Preview — See thumbnail previews of your pages before confirming the action. This prevents mistakes when selecting page ranges or reordering documents.
  • Multi-File Support — Upload one or several PDF files and process them together. Drag to reorder if needed — the tool handles batches without choking on large documents.

Common use cases

  • Extracting Pages for a Quote or Invoice — Pull just the relevant pages out of a long PDF to send to a client, instead of forwarding the entire 50-page document.
  • Combining Scans into One File — A multi-page document scanned as separate images needs to become one PDF. Merge them in order so the recipient sees a complete file.
