Compress PDF

Shrink PDF file size for email and upload portals without visible quality loss.

Make PDFs small enough to send

Email providers often cap attachments at 20–25 MB, and many upload portals accept only a few megabytes. Most of a PDF's size is usually photos and scans, so FilePro re-compresses the images inside your PDF and leaves text and vector graphics untouched, keeping them perfectly sharp.

Choosing a level

• Light keeps images close to the original. Use it for print.
• Recommended is the best balance for email and sharing on screen.
• Strong gives the smallest file, for strict upload limits.

If a level wouldn't make an image smaller, the original image is kept, so compression never makes your file worse.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my PDF barely shrink?

Text-only PDFs are already compact. Compression helps most with scanned documents and PDFs full of photos.

Is the text still searchable?

Yes. Text and fonts aren't changed, only images.

Are my files private?

Files are processed on our servers, never shared, and deleted automatically.
