Why is my PDF file so large?

PDFs become large due to high‑resolution images, embedded fonts, metadata, and inefficient compression. Scanning documents at high DPI also contributes significantly. Our tool removes redundant data and optimises the internal structure to reduce file size.

How does PDF compression work?

PDF compression works by removing redundant data, optimising images, subsetting fonts, and re‑compressing streams. Our tool uses advanced algorithms to balance quality and size, giving you the smallest possible file without sacrificing readability.

Best way to reduce PDF file size

The best way to reduce PDF size is to use smart online compression that preserves quality while removing unnecessary data.
