Compression presets explained

Better Quality (30%): Light compression, keeps images sharp and text crisp. Best for office documents, resumes and printing. Recommended (60%): Balanced compression, best for most users – good quality with much smaller size. Smaller File (85%): Strong compression, makes PDF very small for fast sharing on WhatsApp or email. You can also use custom slider – lower % for better quality, higher % for smaller size.

Why compress PDF?

Large PDFs fail to upload on job portals, college portals and government sites that have file size limits. Big files are slow to share on WhatsApp and email. Compressed PDF uploads faster, saves mobile data and storage space while keeping all pages readable. Ideal for compressing resume for job applications, scanned documents for upload, bills and invoices for email, and ebooks for sharing.

  3. Or use custom slider from 5% to 150% for exact control.
