Reduce PDF: Compress PDFs for Email and Web

The problem: a cumbersome and heavy PDF file

PDFs that contain many images or pages can quickly become very large. You probably recognize this: you want to email an important document, but you get an error message that the file exceeds the limit. Or you want to upload a PDF to a website, but it takes forever. The solution is to compress the file with our free PDF Compressor tool.

What is PDF compression?

PDF compression is the process of reducing the file size by removing unnecessary data and optimizing images. This is done in a smart way, so that the readability and overall quality of the document are preserved as much as possible. The goal is a perfect balance between file size and quality.

Choose the Right Compression Level

Not every situation requires the same degree of compression. Our tool therefore offers different levels:

• Maximum Compression: Choose this for the smallest possible file size. The image quality will be visibly lower, but it's perfect for quick previews or if you really need to stay under a strict file limit.
• Strong Compression (Recommended): This is the ideal balance for most applications, such as sharing via email or posting on a website. The file becomes significantly smaller while maintaining good readability.
• Basic Compression: A light compression that keeps the quality high. Suitable for documents you want to print yourself.
• Minimal Compression: This option is intended for documents for professional printing, where the original quality must be almost completely preserved.

How to use the tool?

1. Go to the PDF Compressor tool.
2. Upload the PDF file you want to compress.
3. Choose the desired compression level.
4. Click "Compress" and wait a few seconds.
5. Download your new, optimized, and much smaller PDF.
