Compress a PDF
Rebuild each page as a JPEG so the file can get under a megabyte cap.
Text becomes an image, so you cannot select it afterward. At most 15 pages are processed. The tool reports a miss if the smallest rebuild is still over the cap.
Each page is rebuilt as a JPEG so the PDF can get under a size you set. The text is no longer selectable because it is now a picture. At most 15 pages are processed. If the smallest rebuild is still over the cap, the page says it missed instead of handing you a file that is too big.

Pages are rebuilt as images. You will not be able to select the text afterward. Up to 15 pages.

Questions
- Why did a re-save sometimes grow the file before?
- Saving the same objects does not recompress images. This tool renders pages and encodes JPEGs.
- Will scanned contracts stay sharp?
- Lower scales get smaller and softer. Compare before you send it.
- Nothing is uploaded. Closing the tab drops the file.
- Pages are rendered in this tab.
