Compress PDF
Shrink big scans to email-friendly sizes.
Big scans are hard to email and slow to send. rawPDF compresses PDFs right on your iPhone, shrinking file size while keeping pages readable - so a bulky multi-page scan drops to a size that sails through email and messaging.
- ✓Noticeably smaller files for email and chat
- ✓Choose your own quality-vs-size balance
- ✓Great for heavy multi-page scans
- ✓Compression runs on device - no uploads
Compression tools online want your file first. That's the opposite of private. rawPDF reduces size locally, which means the invoice, report or medical scan you're shrinking is never handed to a third-party server just to save a few megabytes.

Compress PDF - questions
Will compressing upload my PDF somewhere?
No. rawPDF compresses on your device. Your file is never sent to a compression server.
How much smaller will my file be?
It depends on the content, but image-heavy scans often shrink dramatically. You can pick the level and preview the result first.
Will the text still be readable?
Yes. Choose a lighter compression level to keep pages crisp, or a stronger one when size matters most.
