When this is useful

An attachment above the email limit

Compress a report with photos so it fits the send.

Forms with a size limit

Sign-up portals usually ask for files of a few MB.

Scanned PDFs

High-resolution scanned sheets become much lighter.

Tips for a good result

  • Start with the Balanced option and only raise the compression if needed.
  • Plain-text PDFs barely shrink: the weight comes from the images.

What this tool does not do

  • If the PDF is only text and vectors, the saving will be small.
  • High compression can reduce the sharpness of photos.

Frequently asked questions
