An honest note up front: compression results vary. Digitally created contracts often shrink noticeably, while scanned documents shrink less because their images are usually already compressed. The tool shows you the result before you download.
How it works
- Add the contract PDF you want to make smaller.
- The tool restructures the file in your browser, removing redundant data and optimizing how content is stored.
- Compare the original and compressed sizes shown on screen.
- Download the smaller file if the result works for you — the original is untouched.
Your privacy
Compression runs entirely in your browser — your contract never leaves your device.
No copy of your file is uploaded, stored, or kept anywhere.
Your documents are never used to train AI models.
Common use cases
- Shrink a signed agreement so it fits under an email attachment limit.
- Reduce a merged bundle of contract, schedule, and receipts before sharing.
- Keep a long-term archive of agreements without filling your storage.
- Make a lease or loan document small enough to send through a chat app.
Limitations
- Results vary by file: some PDFs shrink a lot, others barely at all.
- Scanned agreements compress less because their page images are usually already compressed.
- The tool uses lossless restructuring, so it will not degrade text — but that also means no dramatic reductions on image-heavy files.
- Password-protected files need the password removed before compressing.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my contract get?
It depends on the file. Digitally generated PDFs with embedded fonts and duplicate resources can shrink significantly, while scanned documents often only lose a few percent. The tool shows the before-and-after size so you can decide.
Will compression make the text blurry?
No. This tool restructures the file rather than re-encoding pages at lower quality, so text and signatures stay exactly as sharp as the original.
Why did my scanned agreement barely shrink?
Scans are mostly photographs of pages, and those images are usually compressed already. Restructuring cannot squeeze much more out of them without reducing image quality, which this tool deliberately avoids.
Is a compressed contract still valid to share?
The content is unchanged, so the compressed copy reads the same as the original. For evidence purposes, keep the original file too — it is good practice to preserve documents exactly as they were signed.
Is there a file size limit?
Files up to 25 MB are supported. If your document is larger, try splitting it into parts first and compressing each one.
