How to compress a scanned PDF

  1. Pick a preset

    Light keeps more detail. Balanced is the default for scans. Smaller file uses a tighter JPEG edge.

  2. Drop the PDF on this page

    Rendering and JPEG packing. Selectable text usually does not survive.

  3. Download and compare size

    Open the new file. If type looks muddy, switch to Light and run again from the original.

Частые сомнения

Compress PDF locally

Will I still be able to select text?

Usually no. Scan pages become JPEG images inside the new PDF.

Will selectable text survive?

This path is for photo-like pages. The result is images on PDF pages. Keep the original if you need a copy-paste text layer.

Why is my already-small PDF not much smaller?

Vector text and simple drawings do not behave like camera scans. JPEG helps most when pages are photographs of paper.

Is this the same as “print to PDF”?

No. Print-to-PDF often keeps resolution. Here we re-encode canvases with a quality cap so email and forms accept the file.

Do I need an account?

No. Choose a file, wait for the preview, download.

Can I use this on a phone?

Yes, in a mobile browser. Large multi-page scans may be slow; keep the tab open until download is enabled.
