Compression

Strong Recommended Light

Strong makes the smallest file with lower-resolution images (72 dpi). Light keeps print quality (300 dpi).

Your file is processed instantly and deleted as soon as you download it.

How it works

Upload one or more PDFs and pick how strongly to compress. We try several methods and give you the smallest result, never a file bigger than the original.

Recommended (150 dpi images) suits most documents and looks fine on screen.
Strong gives the smallest file, good for email attachments.
Text-only PDFs are usually small already and shrink little.

Free: files up to 10 MB, up to 3 at once, up to 20 pages to images. More with a plan
Files are processed on our server and deleted automatically after download.
