Step by step
- 01
Select your PDF
Note its original size and keep a backup, especially if you need selectable text or interactive content.
- 02
Choose a quality level
Select low, medium or high. Lower quality prioritizes size; higher quality preserves more image detail.
- 03
Compare the result
After processing, review the size comparison and download the result. Open it and check small text and diagrams.
Settings
- Low / medium / high
- The level changes rendering resolution and JPEG quality. Original page dimensions are retained.
Help and limitations
Will text remain selectable?
No. Every page is rasterized into a JPEG image. Searchable text, links and interactive fields are not retained as such.
Will the file always become smaller?
No. Some PDFs are already efficient; rebuilding them can increase size. Compare the displayed sizes before using the result.
Before you use the output
This is lossy, image-based compression, not a text-preserving optimizer. Keep the original for searching, copying text, accessibility and editable forms.
