PDF Shrink
PDF Shrink is a file compression utility designed to reduce PDF file sizes while maintaining reasonable quality. It processes PDF documents to lower their overall byte footprint, making them easier to email, store, and transfer. The app targets users who frequently handle PDF files and need a straightforward tool to compress them without complex settings or technical configuration.

1 suggestionPDF Shrink has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer receiving updates or support. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this Intel-only build will stop launching entirely. If you rely on PDF compression, consider switching to a maintained alternative now: Preview (Apple's bundled app, opens PDFs and can export with reduced quality to shrink file size), macOS Automator (can chain image-compression filters over PDFs), or a cloud service like ilovepdf.com or smallpdf.com, all of which offer PDF compression and run natively on Apple Silicon Macs. If you prefer a native desktop app with similar capabilities, look at PDFtk or Ghostscript (via Homebrew) — both are free and actively maintained open-source tools with native support.
