Reduce file size. Lossless cleanup or image downsampling.
Make your PDF small enough to email or upload. Choose light for a lossless cleanup, balanced for great quality at 150 DPI, or strong for the smallest possible file. You'll see exactly how much smaller it got.
It depends on the images inside. Scanned or photo-heavy PDFs often shrink by 50–90%; text-only files see smaller but still useful savings.
Balanced mode keeps images at 150 DPI — crisp for screens and standard printing. Choose light mode for zero quality loss.
Email attachment limits, upload caps on portals and job applications, and faster sharing all need smaller files.
