Downscale images first
Most PDFs bloat from oversized images. Use Compress PDF with strong settings; if still large, downscale source images to 150-200 DPI before embedding.
Subset fonts
Remove unused glyphs via font subsetting. Our compressor does this automatically; avoid round-tripping through tools that re-embed full fonts.
Avoid repeated exports
Repeated saves through printers re-flate streams and add cruft. Edit once, compress once, and share.
Privacy tip
All compression runs locally in your browser in our tool - no uploads to a server, so sensitive docs stay with you.
