About the Compress PDF

Compress PDF re-saves your document with optimised image quality and streamlined fonts to cut its size dramatically — often by 60-80% for scanned material. Perfect for email attachments that hit size limits, or for speeding up downloads on the web.

How to use

  1. Drop the PDF you want to shrink into the upload area.
  2. Pick a compression level (Recommended balances size and clarity).
  3. Download the smaller PDF once the counter shows Done.

Benefits & key features

  • Slim PDFs load faster and sail through strict attachment-size caps.
  • Multiple quality presets let you choose between smallest file and best visuals.
  • Text remains sharp and selectable — we don't flatten to image.
  • Great for portfolios, e-mail newsletters, government form submissions and mobile viewing.

Pro tip

Heavily scanned PDFs compress the most. If your file was exported directly from Word or InDesign, gains will usually be smaller — consider using Compress Image on the embedded images first.
