About this tool
Any current Mac browser can run this page. Drop the PDF from Finder. Preview’s export is also local if you prefer it. This page does not send the file to a cloud because you compressed it.

- No upload: the same page runs on the phone or the computer, so you do not switch to a server tool per device.
- Speed: the file does not travel to a server and back, so the wait is only the work itself.
- Quality: the original is kept when the new file would be worse or is not actually smaller.
