About Compress PDF
Reduce PDF file size for email and sharing. Choose a quality preset — image-heavy scans compress the most. Preview before download to confirm readability. OyoPdf Compress PDF runs locally in your browser for privacy.
Large PDFs slow down email delivery and fill storage quickly. Compression reduces embedded image resolution and removes redundant PDF structure while keeping text crisp. Use high quality when readability matters; use strong compression for archival scans where file size is the priority.
