Compress a PDF to 20 MB

What actually makes a PDF large

Most oversized PDFs are large because of the images inside them — scanned pages, site photographs or high-resolution plans. Text and vector drawings take up very little space.

We analyse the document, work out where the weight really is, and reduce those elements first so that text stays crisp and readable.

20 MB is the sensible default

For everyday sharing, 20 MB fits comfortably in most inboxes and portals while keeping excellent quality. If you need to go smaller, 10 MB and 5 MB are available and we'll warn you when quality may be affected.

One file in, one file out

Document.pdf comes back as Document-compressed.pdf. We never divide a document into several files, and the original filename is always kept alongside any AI title.
