About PDF Squeezer
PDF Squeezer is a macOS and Windows app by Witt Software that batch-compresses PDF files by applying customizable or preset compression profiles, significantly reducing file sizes while preserving readability. It integrates natively into macOS via Shortcuts, Automator actions, Finder Quick Actions, Touch Bar shortcuts, and even Siri voice commands, making it easy to embed into any workflow. A side-by-side comparison mode lets users evaluate quality versus size trade-offs before committing to a compression setting. Alternatives: PDF Shrink (Mac desktop app, clean UI, drag-and-drop compression), Cisdem PDF Compressor (Mac, batch drag-and-drop compression), Smallpdf (cloud-based, easy online compression), Adobe Acrobat Pro (compression as part of broader toolkit, overkill for compression alone).
