What if I need an even smaller file?
Change the target to 100 or 150 KB in the box. For very tight limits, keep only the pages you must submit.

Questions people ask
Does this work on Android and iPhone?
Yes, in Chrome or Safari.
Will the PDF have a watermark?
No watermark, ever.
Can I select text after compressing?
No. Pages are saved as compressed images to make them small.
How much smaller will my PDF get?
Scanned PDFs and PDFs full of photos often shrink by 50 to 90 percent. PDFs that are mostly typed text are already small, so they shrink less.
Will the text stay sharp?
Recommended keeps text easy to read on screen and in print. Extreme makes the file much smaller, but fine print can get soft, so check it before you upload.
