Compress PDF Locally — No Internet Required After Load
Compressing a PDF "locally" means the processing happens on your own device, not on a remote server. This tool loads a JavaScript PDF library (pdf-lib) once when the page opens, and all subsequent processing is performed in your browser. After the page loads, the tool can work without an active internet connection.
🔒
Compression runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib — your PDF never leaves your device.
