Looking for an iLovePDF alternative just for shrinking PDF file size? iLovePDF's Compress PDF tool is quick from a browser, with a free tier limited by daily tasks and file size - and batch compression gated behind a paid plan. VadeKit's PDF Compressor downsamples embedded images at three quality levels entirely on your device, batching a whole folder in one run, included in the same $24 as every other tool.
For a one-off PDF from a browser you already have open, iLovePDF’s free tier is fine. If you’d rather not upload the file, or want to batch-compress a whole folder without hitting a paid-plan wall, VadeKit’s PDF Compressor does the same job locally, included in the one-time $24.
Why choose VadeKit's PDF Compressor
VadeKit's PDF Compressor never uploads the file - the downsampling runs on your device, and it batch-compresses a whole folder with no paid-plan gate, included in the same $24 as five other PDF tools including Merger and Encryptor.
When iLovePDF still makes sense
iLovePDF needs no install at all, which is convenient for a single one-off PDF from a browser you already have open.
