One workbench, not 120 scattered tools

Every tool shares the same flow — set a target, compress, verify the result, then continue to the next step.

Exact size targets

Type the limit you need — 100KB for a form, 2MB for an email — and the workbench hits it, file by file.

Results you can verify

Every job ends with a report: before, after, reduction, and whether each file met its target.

A workflow, not dead ends

Finished compressing? The report suggests what to do next — resize, convert — so you stay in one place.

Every file type, one place

Images, PDFs, video, audio, archives and documents — all 120 tools under one consistent system.

Choose a file compressor that fits your file

Compression methods have different trade-offs. Start with the file type, then compare the downloaded size and quality.

Compress images

Adjust image quality or dimensions. Lossy output can change fine detail; preview text and edges before using it.

Compress PDF

This PDF compressor renders pages as JPEG images. Selectable text, links, forms and digital signatures are not preserved.

Compress video

Re-encode with a lower bitrate or resolution. Check playback, sound and the final size; a strict target may need further adjustments.

Compress audio

Lower bitrate reduces size with a possible loss of detail. Re-encoding already compressed audio can also make it larger.

Create a ZIP archive

Bundle files without changing their contents. JPEG, MP4 and other compressed files may shrink very little in a ZIP.

There is no guaranteed saving or exact target for every file. If the result is larger, some tools return the original; compare its format and size before sharing. For a bilingual document, check both English and French lettering in the downloaded preview. This PDF workflow rasterizes pages; it does not preserve searchable text or links. Keep the original when text extraction or accessibility matters.
