Compress PDF

Why Compress PDF Files?

Large PDF files can be difficult to share via email, upload to websites, or store on your device. Compressing your PDFs reduces their file size while maintaining acceptable quality, making them easier to handle and share. Whether you're sending documents to clients, uploading files to cloud storage, or archiving important papers, PDF compression is essential for efficient file management.

Common Use Cases:

• Email Attachments: Most email providers limit attachment sizes to 25MB. Compress large PDFs to fit within these limits.
• Website Uploads: Faster page loading times improve user experience and SEO rankings.
• Cloud Storage: Save valuable storage space by compressing archived documents.
• Mobile Sharing: Smaller files transfer faster over mobile networks, saving data and time.
• Document Archiving: Reduce storage costs for long-term document retention.

How to Compress a PDF:

1. Click "Select PDF File" or drag and drop your PDF into the upload area
2. Choose your desired compression level (balanced, high quality, or maximum compression)
3. Click "Compress PDF" and wait a few seconds for processing
4. Download your compressed PDF file
5. Compare the file sizes to see how much space you've saved

Compression Tips:

Choose the Right Level: For documents with mostly text, aggressive compression works well. For image-heavy PDFs like brochures or portfolios, use moderate compression to preserve visual quality.

Keep Originals: Always save a copy of your original, uncompressed PDF before compression, especially for important documents.

Test Before Sharing: Open the compressed PDF to verify that text remains readable and images look acceptable before sending to others.
