Less file size. More peace of mind.

Local processing

Your documents are processed on your computer, never uploaded to a server.

Originals stay safe

PDFTrimly writes a compressed copy and leaves the original file untouched.

Searchable PDFs

Keep searchable text and any OCR already present in your documents.

Batch workflow

Select several PDFs or drop files and folders right into the window.

Choose your balance

Pick Light, Normal, or Ultra compression to suit each batch. File size reduction depends on the PDF’s content; stronger compression may reduce image quality.
