How to use Compress PDF
Reduce PDF File Size for Faster Sharing and Emailing
Email providers and online application portals typically enforce strict file-size limits (often 5 MB to 25 MB). High-resolution graphics, embedded fonts, and unoptimized streams can bloat your PDFs. PDFMintly Compress PDF applies smart stream compaction, image resampling, and structural deduplication to dramatically shrink your document size while preserving crisp text readability.
Three Tunable Compression Levels
- Low Compression: Slight reduction, best for high-dpi print materials where color fidelity is critical.
- Medium Compression (Recommended): The golden ratio for everyday sharing, email attachments, and web uploads (up to 60–80% size savings).
- High Compression: Maximum file-size reduction for massive multi-hundred-page archives where minimal file size is paramount.
