Compress a PDF for email
Is your PDF too big to email? Shrink it right in your browser so it fits common attachment limits, while keeping the text crisp and readable. Nothing is uploaded to a third party.
- Open the PDF you want to email
- Choose a compression level — balanced is best for most documents
- Watch the original-vs-compressed size comparison
- Download the smaller PDF and attach it to your email
- Fits Gmail, Outlook and most 25 MB attachment limits
- Compression runs in your browser — your file stays private
- Three levels to balance size and quality
- Keeps text sharp and readable at smaller sizes
How small can it get?
Image-heavy PDFs often shrink 50–90%. Text-only PDFs are already small, so the savings are smaller.
Will it ruin the quality?
The balanced level keeps text sharp and readable while cutting size significantly. Use minimum compression for the best quality.
