I built a free browser-based PDF compressor using WASM — looking for feedback
I made a free PDF compressor that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly.
No signup, no watermark, no server upload. You pick a PDF, it compresses locally in your browser, and you download the result.
I built it because a lot of PDF tools feel weirdly over-monetized for such a basic task: accounts, limits, watermarks, or uploading private docs somewhere just to shrink a file.
It’s not really a micro SaaS yet — more like a small utility I wanted to put out there and see if people find useful. I’m considering adding a few related PDF tools later, but I want to keep the core stuff free.
Would love feedback from this group on:
- whether this is worth turning into a small product
- possible monetization that doesn’t ruin the tool
- UX / positioning
- SEO angles
- edge cases I’m missing

Happy to hear honest feedback. I’m especially interested in what you’d do next if this were your project.
