About PDF Crush: Compress File Size
PDF Crush makes PDF files smaller right on your phone. Pick a file, see how big it will be, tap Compress. Your files are processed on the device and never uploaded to a server.
WHY PDF CRUSH
• Private: everything happens on your phone. No account, no uploads, works offline.
• Sharp text: by default PDF Crush shrinks the images inside your PDF and leaves text, links and forms as they are, so text stays crisp and selectable.
• No watermark and no sign-up.
• Your original is never changed. You always get a new copy.
COMPRESS PDF
• Three clear levels: Smallest file, Balanced and High quality.
• See the new size of each level before you start.
• Fit a size limit: choose a target like "under 200 KB" or "under 2 MB" for upload forms and email, and PDF Crush finds the best quality that fits.
• Custom: set image quality and resolution yourself.
• Compress many PDFs at once.
• Black and white option for even smaller files.
• Flatten pages option for scanned documents (gives the smallest size; text becomes part of the image).
• Before and after preview: drag the slider to compare quality.
• If a PDF can't get smaller (for example a text-only file), PDF Crush tells you and keeps it as it is instead of making it bigger.
MORE PDF TOOLS
• Merge: combine several PDFs in the order you choose.
• Split and extract: pull out selected pages, split by page ranges, or split every N pages.
• Organize pages: reorder, rotate and delete pages.
• Images to PDF: turn photos, receipts and scans into one PDF (A4, Letter or fit to image).
• PDF to images: save pages as JPG or PNG.
• Password: protect a PDF with AES-256 encryption, or remove a password you know.
MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE
• Open PDFs straight from your email, chat or file manager with "Open with" or "Share".
• Save to Downloads, choose your own folder, or share directly.
• Recent files list and long-press app shortcuts.
• Long jobs keep running in the background, with an optional notification when they finish.
• Material You design with dark theme and optional wallpaper colours, built for phones and tablets.
FREE WITH OPTIONAL AD REMOVAL
All tools are free. The app shows ads, and a one-time purchase removes them. No subscription.
Good to know: how much a PDF shrinks depends on what is inside it. Scans and photo-heavy PDFs usually shrink a lot. PDFs that are mostly text are often already compact.
