PDF compression is the process of reducing the file size of PDF documents by optimizing images, removing redundant data, and applying compression algorithms. Our online PDF compressor converts each page to optimized JPEG images and rebuilds the PDF with smaller file sizes while preserving readability. This process is particularly effective for PDFs containing images, scanned documents, or graphics-heavy content.
