Shrink Size Keep Quality

File size drops while pages stay legible and images remain understandable. Graphics and text are optimized so the document looks professional and loads quickly. Long reports and visual assets remain clear enough for review, printing, and archiving across different networks.

Create lighter PDFs that send by email and meet portal limits. Keep layout intact, preserve important visuals, and save bandwidth without changing your workflow. Share files confidently across devices while maintaining a clean, consistent appearance for readers.

The Best PDF Compression Platform

PrintFriendly is the top tool for compressing PDFs online. Our compression software has many benefits, like secure compression of files and compatibility with multiple browsers and operating systems. Plus, our file compression happens right in the browser, so you don't need to download any bulky or expensive software like Adobe Acrobat.

PDF compression has become a necessity. Modern internet speeds now allow us to easily upload and download large files, but email clients like Gmail only allow us to send file that are up to 25 megabytes, so if you're trying to send large, high-quality documents via email, you're most likely going to be limited. Our software lets you compress PDFs and email them without issues.

Soon, our free PDF compression service will soon allow you to select multiple PDF documents to compress at one time, rather than dealing with single PDF compression, which can take days if done manually using a desktop application.
