PDF Compressor
Large PDF files can be a pain. They're slow to upload, take up too much space, and often get rejected by email servers. Our PDF Compressor solves this problem by shrinking your files while keeping the content looking great.
How to Compress a PDF
1. Upload Your File
- Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF file onto it.
- We support files up to 10MB.
- Once uploaded, you'll see the file name and its original size.
2. Choose Compression Level
Select how much you want to compress the file:
- Low (Better Quality): Reduces size slightly but maintains the highest possible visual quality. Good for documents with detailed images.
- Medium (Balanced): The standard choice. Offers a good reduction in size with minimal loss in quality. Perfect for most documents.
- High (Smaller Size): Aggressive compression. Great for text-heavy documents where file size is the biggest concern.
3. Compress and Download
- Click "Compress PDF". The tool will process your file.
- You'll see the new file size and how much space you saved (e.g., "Reduced by 45%").
- Click "Download Compressed PDF" to save the optimized file to your device.
