Why Compress PDFs?

Large PDF files can be problematic for email attachments, web uploads, and storage. Compressing PDFs helps you:

  • Reduce email bounce-backs - Many email servers limit attachment sizes
  • Speed up web uploads - Smaller files upload faster
  • Save storage space - Keep more documents without running out of space
  • Improve sharing - Faster downloads for recipients
  • The Secret to Quality Compression

    The key to maintaining quality while reducing size is understanding what makes PDFs large:

  • High-resolution images - Often the biggest culprit
  • Embedded fonts - Can add significant size
  • Metadata - Hidden data you may not need
  • Redundant objects - Duplicate resources
