Batch Compress PDF - Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about compressing multiple PDF files at once with PDF Lab

Go to Batch Compress PDF Tool

Batch Compress PDF makes many PDFs smaller in one go. Add your files and download each compressed file or all of them as one ZIP.

Up to 100 PDFs per batch, with a total size of up to 1 GB. Files are uploaded and compressed one at a time, and each one can be downloaded as soon as it is ready.

Every file is compressed with the same balanced setting as Medium in Compress PDF: images are reduced to 150 DPI, which keeps documents clear on screen and in normal printing. If compression would not make a file smaller, you get the original back unchanged. For other levels, or an exact size such as 100 KB, compress files one at a time with Compress PDF.

Text stays sharp. Photos and scanned pages can look slightly softer. PDFs with many images shrink the most; text-only PDFs are already small and shrink less.

Both. Download each compressed PDF as it finishes, or download a ZIP with all of them at the end.

Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF. Damaged files can also fail. The rest of the batch carries on.

Yes, but uploading many large files is faster and more reliable on a computer with a good connection.

Compression runs on our own servers. Your PDFs are uploaded over an encrypted connection, kept only while they are compressed and you download them, and then deleted. They are never sent to a third party.
