Batch Compress PDF

Make batches of PDFs smaller on your PC without uploading them.

Batch Compress PDF reduces document sets locally. Flatten works best for most size-reduction jobs, especially scanned or image-heavy PDFs, by creating page-image copies. Smart is available when selectable text, links, forms, annotations, and PDF structure need to remain intact. Encrypted and signed files are skipped, inputs are never overwritten, and a larger candidate is never retained.

faq

Straight answers

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Compression and preview rendering run locally on the Windows PC.

What is Flatten?

Flatten renders pages into page images. It is separate because selectable text, links, forms, tags, and signatures are not retained.

Can compression make a file larger?

The app validates candidates and keeps the original bytes whenever an optimised candidate would be larger.
