Shrink a PDF in the browser

Reduce PDF size client-side with no upload — honest about what re-encoding can and cannot do.

Honest limitation: this re-encodes structure (object-stream compression). It does not down-sample embedded images or remove fonts. For heavy compression of image-heavy PDFs, a server-side tool like Ghostscript is more aggressive.
