💡 Pro Tips
Image-heavy PDFs compress the most
A PDF with scanned photos compresses far more aggressively than a text-only document - expect 70-90% reduction.
Split long PDFs before compressing
Splitting a 20-page PDF into parts and compressing each separately gives better per-section quality control.
Unlock encrypted PDFs first
Password-protected PDFs cannot be compressed. Remove the password with the Unlock PDF tool first.
200KB allows for better image quality than 100KB
If your PDF has charts or diagrams that need to remain readable, 200KB gives more headroom than the 100KB target.
