Hi everyone!
I built Scanned PDF Compressor because many scanned PDFs are much larger than they need to be, making them harder to email, upload, or store.
The tool runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your computer. Just choose a compression level, optimize the PDF, and download the result in a few clicks.
I'd love to hear your feedback. Are there any PDF compression features or workflows you'd like to see added in a future update? Thanks for checking it out!
the local processing approach is genuinely thoughtful, especially for anyone dealing with sensitive paperwork. nice work making privacy feel like the default rather than an afterthought.
Does the compression work well on PDFs that are mostly images of handwriting, or is it more tuned for printed text scans?
Runs entirely in the browser so nothing leaves your machine, which is exactly what you want for tax forms and medical records. Compressed a 40MB scan down to under 3MB with the text still perfectly readable.
Does the compression actually keep the text readable when I zoom in, or does it start looking fuzzy on smaller print from old forms I scan?
