Why use our Compress PDF
You can ask for an exact size. Many upload forms have a hard limit, and our target mode searches for the best quality that fits under it.
- Exact target size in KB or MB.
- Recommended and Strong keep text selectable.
- Extreme rebuilds pages as images for the smallest file.
- Black and white option for extra savings.
- Clear before and after size, with the saving shown.
Tips for the best result
- Start with Recommended. Move to Strong only if you need more.
- Photos and scans shrink the most. Text-only PDFs are already small.
- Keep your original file for printing.
