    How to use Compress PDF

    1. Select your PDF or drop it into the box.
    2. Choose the settings that fit your document.
    3. Start the process and wait a few seconds.
    4. Download the optimized PDF.

    Most of the weight of a PDF comes from images. The compressor resamples images to a sensible resolution, re-encodes them efficiently, removes duplicated resources and unused fonts, and rewrites the file structure. Text stays sharp and selectable.

    If a file cannot be made smaller (it is already optimized), you get the original back, never a bigger file.

    About the file formats

    PDF (Portable Document Format)

    Created by Adobe in 1993, PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look identical on every screen and printer. It embeds fonts, images and layout in one file and supports passwords, forms and digital signatures.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much smaller will my PDF get?

    It depends on the content. Documents with many photos often shrink by 50 to 90%. Text-only PDFs are already small and change less.

    Which level should I choose?

    "Recommended" fits most cases. Use "Extreme" when the file must be as small as possible, for example for an upload form with a 2 MB limit.

    Is MajorPDF free to use?

    Yes, completely free. There is no registration and no watermark is added to your files.

    Are my files safe?

    Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection and deleted automatically after 1 hour(s). After downloading you can also delete them immediately with one click.

    What is the maximum file size?

    Each file can be up to 50 MB.
