How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your file

    Click the upload area or drop the file onto the page. Tools that accept multiple files let you select them all at once.

  2. 2

    Pick a compression level

    Choose Low for crisp visuals, Medium for a balanced size, or High for the smallest possible file.

  3. 3

    Run the operation

    Press the action button when you are ready. Compress PDF runs in the background; a typical file finishes in seconds.

  4. 4

    Download the result

    The download button appears as soon as the output is ready. The link stays valid for one hour, after which the file is removed from our servers.

Frequently asked questions

All uploads go over HTTPS. Snappdf processes the file, returns the result, and deletes both the upload and the output from our servers within one hour. We do not read, share, or sell your file contents.
Free accounts can upload files up to 5 MB. Pro accounts handle files up to 500 MB. In batch jobs, each file is subject to these limits individually.
No. Snappdf runs entirely in your browser; there is nothing to download or install. The optional Chrome extension adds one-click access to PDFs you encounter on the web.
