Reducing PDF files to below 100 KB, just for your needs

How Big a File Can You Take?

 

The maximum file size that our online PDF compressor can manage is 5 GB per file. That means that there are very few PDF documents out there that our tool can’t handle. After all, the “P” in PDF does stand for “portable.” The final size of your file as well as the compression rate we achieved, will be displayed on the result page. And yes, it’s free to use! Plus, we don’t add annoying watermarks to your file—it will look just as it did before.

What About the Quality of My Files?

 

Quality retention is a guarantee. The file size reducer tool works on large PDF documents by scanning each file, identifying similar data patterns, and replacing all the duplicates with a unique identifier. Each of these identifiers is much smaller in comparison to the original content of the PDF, and thus, the size is considerably smaller.

Batch Processing & Stronger Compression

 

With a Smallpdf Pro subscription, you get access to batch processing. That means you can drag and drop as many files as you’d like into the toolbox and process them at the same time. It’s the ideal solution for winning back some storage space without spending hours compressing individual PDFs. A Pro account also provides you with access to our strong compression mode. This powerful option can reduce your PDF file size by up to 75%! If you’d like to test it out without committing to anything, sign up for a free trial of Smallpdf Pro today—you can cancel anytime.
