Runs up to 3 compression passes. Output is image-based, so text is no longer selectable.

Get Under Your Mail Provider's Limit

Gmail, Outlook and most providers bounce attachments above 20–25 MB, and corporate gateways are often tighter. This page targets a safe ~10 MB so your PDF sends the first time instead of coming back as a delivery failure.

Send Confidential Files Safely

Email attachments are frequently contracts and statements. Compressing them here keeps the file on your device until you attach it yourself — nothing is uploaded to a third-party compressor on the way.

Compress a PDF So You Can Email It — Frequently Asked Questions

How small should a PDF be to email?

Aim well under your provider's cap — around 10 MB is safe for most, and lower for strict corporate mail. Adjust the target field to match.

Will compressing affect the recipient's copy?

They receive the compressed PDF, which opens and prints normally; only selectable text is lost due to rasterization.

Is it private?

Yes — entirely in-browser, no upload.
