Make a PDF smaller without sending it anywhere PRESS
Most of a heavy PDF is pictures stored larger than the page shows. Bring them down to what a screen, an e-reader or a printer needs; the text, fonts and forms stay as they were.
The PDF
Drop it here or choose it. It is read and rewritten in this tab and never leaves it.
What was done
Every picture in the file, what it was and what it is now.
Check a page, then download
The same page before and after, so you can judge the quality before you keep it.
How it works
PRESS brings them down to what a screen, an e-reader or a printer needs, so the file becomes small enough to email or upload, while the text stays selectable and searchable and the fonts and forms are kept. How much smaller it gets depends on what is in the file: a PDF that is mostly text will barely change. It runs in your browser.
Doing this often? PDF Studio compresses as one step of a batch, alongside OCR, flattening and numbering, and checks a file before it goes to print. On its own, US$4 a month; with everything else, US$9 a month or US$79 a year. 7 days free.
