Reduce PDF file size
Most email providers reject attachments above 20–25 MB, and many application portals stop at 5 or 10 MB. This page is preset to strong compression: images inside the PDF are scaled to about 150 dpi and recompressed, which usually cuts scanned documents by 80–95% while text stays sharp.
How it works
- Drop the PDF you want to send.
- Strong compression runs automatically; the new size appears next to the file.
- Download the smaller PDF and attach it.
FAQ
Will it be readable when printed?
Yes for normal documents: 150 dpi is fine for reading and printing text pages. For photo-heavy print jobs choose Light.
It is still too big. What now?
Split the PDF into parts, or check whether it contains mostly vector content, which compression cannot shrink much.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
