How It Works

This tool compresses PDFs by converting each page to a compressed JPEG image and rebuilding the PDF. This method provides significant file size reduction:

  1. Your PDF pages are rendered at the selected scale
  2. Each page is compressed as a JPEG with your chosen quality level
  3. A new optimized PDF is created from the compressed images
  4. The result is typically 60-80% smaller than the original
