Why Compress PDFs?

Large PDFs are hard to email and slow to download. Stripping embedded metadata and unnecessary data can meaningfully reduce file size without affecting the document's content.

What Gets Removed?

Our compressor removes embedded metadata (author, software, dates), XML metadata streams, and other optional data that inflates file size without adding value to readers.

Limitations

For PDFs that are large due to high-resolution embedded images, the reduction will be modest. Image-heavy PDFs benefit most from dedicated PDF tools that can resample images.
