About Compress PDF
Large PDFs are hard to email, and many online forms limit uploads to 1 MB or 2 MB. Compress PDF reduces file size right in your browser. The Light, Balanced and Maximum levels re-encode each page as an optimised image, which gives big savings on scanned documents and photo-heavy files. If you need to keep text selectable, the lossless option re-saves the file efficiently without changing its content.
Good to know: the image-based levels turn pages into pictures, so text can no longer be selected or searched. For text-only PDFs the lossless option is usually the better choice, although the savings are smaller.

Frequently asked questions
Will compressing remove the text from my PDF?
With Light, Balanced and Maximum, pages are converted to images, so text is no longer selectable. The lossless option keeps text exactly as it was.
How much smaller will my file get?
Scanned and photo-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50 to 90 percent. PDFs that are mostly text are already small, so savings are modest unless you use an image-based level.
Which level should I choose for a 2 MB upload limit?
Start with Balanced. If the file is still too large, try Maximum. You can compare the sizes and run it again quickly.
Is the quality good enough to print?
Light (150 DPI) is suitable for most office printing. Balanced and Maximum are meant for reading on screen.
Why did my file not get smaller?
Some PDFs are already optimised. In that case keep your original, or try a stronger level.
