Government job applications, university forms, and digital portals often strictly require PDF documents (such as scanned mark sheets, identification proofs, or certificates) to be under a certain size limit, typically 100KB or 200KB. Photocopywale's PDF Compressor solves this issue instantly by effectively downscaling the embedded images within your scanned PDF documents without completely destroying readability.
Total Security & Privacy: Our tool completely runs locally inside your web browser using cutting-edge Javascript rendering. This means the compression happens offline, in your computer's memory. Your highly sensitive personal documents are never uploaded to external servers, guaranteeing absolute data privacy.

Our tool is optimized for "Scanned" PDFs (which are basically photos inside a PDF format). If you uploaded a digitally typed PDF (like a Word document saved as PDF), there are no images inside it to compress, so the size reduction will be minimal.

For general use, select 'Recommended'. If you are uploading to a government portal that strictly requires files under 100KB, choose 'High Compression'. If you just need a slight reduction while keeping maximum quality, choose 'Less Compression'.
