How to Compress a PDF to Send on WhatsApp — Free

WhatsApp allows PDF file sharing up to 100 MB. If your PDF exceeds this or is slow to send on mobile data, compressing it first improves delivery speed and reduces data usage.

1

Compress at pdfeditor.onl/compress-pdf

Open the compressor in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone). Upload your PDF. Select Good compression for most documents. Tap Compress Now.

Tip: Most PDFs compress to under 10 MB on Good settings — well within WhatsApp's 100 MB limit and much faster to send on mobile data.

2

Send via WhatsApp

After downloading the compressed PDF, open WhatsApp. In any chat, tap the attachment icon → Document → select the compressed PDF from your Files or Downloads.
