How it helps

A straightforward way to work with your document

Compression is useful for scanned forms, image-heavy reports and attachments that exceed a mailbox or application limit. The transformation runs in your browser, which avoids transferring the original file to an external compression service.

Your PDF stays on your device during compression. There is no sign-up, no server upload for this operation and no copy of the output is retained by PdfWiseAI.
