Many PDF files carry excessive weight. The large file size requires more time to download, slows down reading performance, creates email problems and printer jams, and can be a source of user frustration.

PDF format has become very popular on the Web, but many PDF files are designed for high quality print output while not optimized for the Web. It's a good idea to aim for the smallest possible file size to share PDF online.

In PDFConvert 2.0 and later versions, we introduce a new PDF tool to optimize PDF size.

Use this form to compress PDF file and reduce PDF file size.

1. Click the "Choose File" button (different web browsers may have different button names such as "browse..."), a browse window will open, select a local Adobe PDF file and click the "Open" button.
2. Click the "Compress Now!" button to compress. Wait a few seconds for the task to finish.
3. You can download or view the output PDF file on your web browser when task is complete. No email address required to receive files.
