Compressed PDF Generator
Most blocking limits in document sharing revolve around weight: Gmail blocks attachments above 25 MB, Outlook around 20 MB, online application forms often at 5 MB, administrative services sometimes at only 2 MB. Yet a PDF generated from scans or photos can easily weigh tens of megabytes. Smart PDF compression analyzes the images contained in the document, recompresses them at an adapted quality level (not too much, to stay readable — not too little, to gain weight), and rewrites the PDF with these optimized images. The result is often a file 50 to 90% lighter, perfectly readable on screen or at standard print, that passes the attachment limits of email services and online forms without trouble. Everything happens in your browser, without sending your (often confidential) documents to a third-party server.

Everything that deserves a clear answer.
Realistic savings on a scanned PDF?+
Typically 50-90%, depending on the quality level chosen. A 30 MB PDF can easily drop to 3-5 MB.
Will the PDF stay readable?+
Yes, by default we keep a quality level sufficient for screen reading and standard printing.
Is the PDF text preserved?+
Yes. Compression targets the images contained in the PDF, not the text layers which remain intact.
Are my documents private?+
100% private. Everything happens in your browser, no server upload.
