Can I compress a PDF from Google Drive?

Compress PDF on Android

Form deadlines do not wait for a laptop. Compress the PDF on your Android right in Chrome — files from Downloads or Drive in, portal-ready size out, no app installed. We compress toward your target at the best quality that fits, never make the file larger than the original, and always show the real final size — very image-heavy files may land slightly above tight targets.
