About PDF Reducer
A free, browser-based toolkit that makes everyday PDF tasks fast, simple and accessible to everyone.
PDF Reducer is a free, browser-based toolkit for working with PDF files. Our goal is to make everyday document tasks — compressing, merging, splitting, converting and organizing PDFs — fast, simple and accessible to everyone, without needing to install any software.
The project started from a simple frustration: dealing with PDFs usually means either paying for desktop software you rarely use, or hunting for a website that turns out to be slow, cluttered with confusing download buttons, or asks you to create an account just to shrink a file for an email attachment. We built PDF Reducer to be the tool we wanted to use ourselves — open a page, drop in a file, and get the result.

Open toolWho uses PDF Reducer
Students compressing scanned assignments before an upload portal rejects them for being too large. Job seekers merging a cover letter and résumé into a single file before applying. Small businesses converting signed contracts to Word for quick edits, then back to PDF for the final copy. Anyone who just needs a page removed from a PDF without owning an editor for it. We built this site for exactly those everyday moments.
Our approach to privacy
We process files automatically and do not manually access or review their contents. Source uploads are removed after processing. You can delete a generated result immediately; abandoned temporary results expire after two hours and are removed by hourly cleanup. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
