Reduce PDF file size with selectable compression levels. This guide explains the practical workflow, what to check in the output and when another tool is a better fit.
When to use this tool
Upload the PDF and begin with a balanced compression setting. Compare the size and appearance before trying a stronger level.
A practical example
For a portal with a 2 MB limit, aim slightly below the limit and inspect small text at full zoom.
Check the exported result
Compare photographs, stamps, fine lines and faint handwriting with the original. Keep the original if the output is larger.
Common problems and limits
Text-heavy files may already be compact. Repeated compression of a scan can damage detail without much extra saving.
Choose the next step
Split a document only when the recipient allows separate uploads.
Files, privacy and saving
This workflow uses temporary server processing after your consent. Review the upload notice and avoid processing material you are not authorised to use. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
