How to Compress PDF and Reduce File Size

Large PDF files can be a pain. They take forever to upload, clog up email inboxes, and eat up storage space. Fortunately, you can significantly reduce the size of your PDF files without sacrificing quality using Duxport's PDF Compressor.

When Should You Compress a PDF?

• Emailing: Most email providers have attachment size limits (usually 20-25MB).
• Web Uploads: Application portals often restrict file sizes.
• Storage: Save space on your device or cloud drive.

How Compression Works

PDF compression works by removing unnecessary data, optimizing fonts, and adjusting image quality. Duxport uses smart algorithms to balance size reduction with visual quality, ensuring your text remains sharp.
