How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF and a compression level.
  2. Adjust quality for the Medium and Strong levels.
  3. Compress and compare the sizes, then download if you are happy with the result.

Light and Medium keep text, links and layout. Medium only changes JPEG photos (other image types are left alone). Strong rebuilds every page as an image, so text can no longer be selected or searched. PDFs that are already well optimized may not get smaller; in that case keep the original. Always check the result before replacing your file.
