SquashPDF is a fast PDF compressor for iOS that shrinks PDF file size without destroying quality. Reduce a 50 MB contract to under 5 MB, fit a scanned passport into an email attachment, or hit a strict upload limit. What SquashPDF does - Compresses single or multiple PDFs in one tap - Lets you pick a target size (e.g. under 1 MB, under 5 MB, under 10 MB) instead of guessing quality levels - Batch-compresses entire folders of PDFs at once - Shows a side-by-side preview so you can verify quality before saving - Keeps a history of every compression with original vs. final size FAQ -> How much can SquashPDF reduce a PDF? Typically 60–90% for image-heavy PDFs (scans, photos). Text-only PDFs see smaller reductions because text is already efficiently encoded. -> Does SquashPDF work offline? No. Files are uploaded to our server for processing, they are not tied to your identity and are automatically deleted after two hours. -> Will compression ruin the quality of my PDF? No. Pick a target size and SquashPDF balances quality automatically. Use the side-by-side preview to compare before saving. -> Can I compress multiple PDFs at once? Yes. Batch mode compresses dozens of PDFs in one run and saves them with the original filenames. -> Is SquashPDF free? Core compression is free (daily limit of 1 pdf). SquashPDF Pro unlocks unlimited batch compression, larger files, and removes limits. -> Which file types are supported? PDF only. For best results, use SquashPDF on PDFs containing scans, photos, or screenshots — that's where the biggest savings come from. Download SquashPDF and stop fighting upload limits.

Read full description

PDF Compressor Offline helps reduce PDF file size directly on your device. Your PDF files are not uploaded to our servers, and the original document is not modified. Choose one PDF or several PDFs, compress them, review the result, then save or share the new compressed copy. Before compression, the app also checks whether there is enough available storage to create the output safely. Highlights: • On-device PDF compression • PDF files are not uploaded to our servers • Original files remain unchanged • Save to Files, share, or preview compressed PDFs • Batch PDF compression support • Free users can process 2 PDFs per day • Free limits: up to 50 MB for one PDF, or 2 PDFs / 100 MB total per batch • Premium unlock: larger PDFs up to 1.5 GB, batches up to 75 PDFs, and no daily PDF limit • No account, no ads, no ad tracking PDF processing works offline.
