About this tool

Compressing a PDF helps when attaching it to an email or uploading it to a site with a size limit. Pages are converted to JPEG images at the quality you choose, which reduces size noticeably, especially for scanned files.

Important: after this type of compression the text becomes an image and can no longer be selected or searched. Keep a copy of the original file.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my file not get smaller?

If the file is already compressed or contains only text it may not shrink. Try a stronger level.

Can I copy text after compression?

No, because pages become images. Use the Extract text tool on the original file when needed.
