“Batch compress PDF online” searches usually come from two people: someone with three email attachments, and someone with three hundred invoices. SortMyFile Free already compresses without daily caps — one file (or a small set) at a time in the browser. Pro Batch Command Center is for the second person: recipes across dozens or hundreds of files.
What Free Compress PDF handles well
Email size fixes, exam portal caps, and one-off KYC shrinks. Use presets or target KB, download, verify. Unlimited runs — no “two tasks per day” wall.
When one-by-one becomes the real cost
Finance teams, scanners, and agencies repeat compress → OCR → watermark → protect. Manual repetition burns hours; Action Wizard-style batch is why desktop Pro seats survive.
What Pro Batch Command Center will unlock
Drop a folder or large multi-file set, run saved recipes, and process overnight-scale jobs. That is a paid moat — not a fake limit on Free compress.
- Use Free Compress PDF for single files and small packs today
- Note repeat steps you run every week (compress, OCR, protect)
- Watch Pricing for Batch Command Center when checkout ships
- Keep Free forever for casual work either way
Privacy note for bulk document jobs
Browser-local free tools keep single files on device. Large batch and Office conversion often need server capacity — Pro will label that clearly. Do not upload identity archives to random “batch compress” sites just to save an afternoon.
