No software to install. Works on any device — Mac, Windows, iOS, Android.
Drag and drop or click to select any PDF file up to 20MB.

Your file is compressed server-side and ready to download in seconds. Files are deleted immediately after.
Unlike SmallPDF or ILovePDF, NexTools is free up to 20 tasks/month — no forced upsell after the first file. We use Ghostscript on the server for compression that actually works, not a simple re-save. No watermarks. No account required. Your file is processed and deleted — we don't store your documents.
Typical results are 40–90% reduction depending on content. PDFs with lots of high-res images compress dramatically. Text-heavy PDFs compress less but still see meaningful savings.
It depends on the setting. "Screen" quality targets email attachments and small file size. "Ebook" balances quality and size. "Printer" keeps quality high. "Prepress" is near-lossless — minimal size reduction but maximum fidelity.
Yes. Your file is uploaded over HTTPS, compressed on our server, and immediately deleted after processing. We don't store or share your documents.
Free users can compress PDFs up to 20MB. The file size limit exists to keep processing fast. If you need to compress larger files, upgrade to Pro for priority processing.
PDFs with embedded fonts, vector graphics, or already-compressed images won't compress much further. Try switching to a lower quality setting, or use our PDF Merger to recombine only the pages you need.
