How to compress a PDF without losing quality
Large PDFs are hard to email and slow to upload. Compression shrinks the file by optimising images and removing unused data, and with FileMind you can do it in your browser without uploading anything.
Steps
- Open the Compress PDF tool and add your file.
- Choose a compression level — start with the medium option.
- Start compression and compare the new size with the original.
- Download the result and check that it looks right.
Tips
- Scanned documents shrink the most because they are mostly images.
- If text looks blurry, try a lower compression level.
- Keep the original until you have checked the result.
