How to Compress PDF for Google Drive Upload

Reduce PDF size before uploading to Google Drive to save storage space. Free browser tool.

Google Drive's free storage is limited to 15GB. Compressing PDFs before uploading can save significant space, especially for large scanned documents.

Open FixMyPDF

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/compressor in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.

Upload the PDF

Click "Choose File" and select the PDF you want to compress before uploading to Drive.

Compress

Choose your compression level. Scanned documents often compress by 70-90% with minimal visual quality loss.

Upload to Google Drive

Download the compressed PDF, then drag it into Google Drive or use the Upload button.

Storage Tip

A 50-page scanned document might be 50MB uncompressed but only 5MB after compression — a 90% reduction. Compressing all your archived PDFs can extend your free 15GB for months.
