How to Compress a PDF for WhatsApp

Reduce PDF size to send on WhatsApp (100MB limit). Free browser tool on any device.

WhatsApp allows PDF file sharing up to 100MB, but large PDFs can be slow to send and receive. Compress before sharing for a faster experience.

Open FixMyPDF

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/compressor in Chrome or Safari on your phone.

Tap "Choose File" and select the PDF from your phone storage or Downloads folder.

Tap Compress. For a typical report or presentation, medium compression reduces size by 60-80% while keeping content readable.

Download the compressed PDF, then tap Share → WhatsApp to send it to a contact or group chat.

Compressed PDFs not only send faster but also use less mobile data for recipients — considerate when sharing with contacts on limited data plans.
