PDF Compressor

A 40 MB scanned PDF is impossible to email. This compressor re-packs the images inside your PDF at a smaller resolution while keeping the text intact, so the file opens exactly like before — just lighter.

Questions

Which level should I pick?

Medium is right for most cases. Use Light when print quality matters, Strong for the smallest possible file.

Is the text still selectable?

Yes. Only the embedded images are re-compressed; text stays as text.

How much smaller will it get?

Scanned documents often shrink 60–90%. Text-only PDFs are already small and shrink little.
