Smart PDF compression

Compress a PDF online

PDF too large to send? OlimPDF checks what is inside and chooses how to compress it. If you have an upload limit, enter a target size and let it try the settings for you.

No sign-in up to 10 MB per task. Sign in for larger files.

PDF

  • Different PDFs, different treatment

    Text PDFs keep their text and vector content while embedded images are optimized. Scans use image quality and resolution settings to balance detail with file size.

  • Have a limit? Set a target

    A submission needs 2MB, or a form allows 500KB? Enter the size and OlimPDF will try different settings. You can also set it to 50% or 25% of the original.

  • Check the result before saving

    Preview the text, images and stamps. Try another level or change the target size using the original file, without uploading it again.
