Free, private, and secure PDF compression — 100% in your browser. No uploads. No storage. No tracking.
🌐 Live demo: https://privacypdf.org
PrivacyPDF is a PDF compression tool that runs entirely on the client side. Your files are processed in the browser and never leave your device — no uploads to any server, no storage, no tracking.
- 100% local processing — all compression happens in your browser.
- Batch compression — drop multiple PDFs and compress them together.
- Adjustable quality — Light / Balanced / Extreme compression levels.
- ZIP export — download all results as a single ZIP.
- Privacy by design — no server ever sees your documents.
- Open source — the full frontend codebase is on GitHub.
PDF tools usually require uploading sensitive files to a third-party server. PrivacyPDF takes the opposite approach: because the code is open, anyone can verify that files are processed locally and never transmitted. That is the strongest possible privacy guarantee.
Use it online at https://privacypdf.org, or self-host it:
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/bite-arcade/privacy-pdf.git
# 2. Enter the directory
cd privacy-pdf
# 3. Serve the static files (any static server works)
python3 -m http.server 8080
# Then open http://localhost:8080
⚠️ FOR LOCAL TESTING ONLY, DO NOT EXPOSE TO PUBLIC INTERNET. This is a static site; a local server is enough to preview it on your machine.
