MSRX PDF Compressor
Shrink PDFs without turning the text into pictures
Overview
Most PDF compressors flatten every page to an image, so the file shrinks but the text stops being selectable, searchable or readable aloud. This one decides page by page: text pages keep their text, scans get re-encoded. Everything runs on the device.
What it does
- Decides page by page: text pages keep their text, scans are re-encoded
- Fits a file under 5, 10, 20 or 25 MB by testing real pages
- Shows where the megabytes are before you compress
- Compares the original and the result side by side, page by page
- Compresses batches, with per-file results and a combined total
- History with a running total of everything saved
- Greyscale conversion for scans and photographs
- Compresses from any app's share sheet, and from Shortcuts
- Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver throughout
- No uploads, no accounts, no network access at all
- Free, with no ads or in-app purchases
- iPhone and iPad
