What is PDF compression?

PDF compression reduces file size so documents are easier to store, share, and upload. PhoEdit Compress PDF compresses embedded images while keeping PDF text as text.

Compress PDF features

Low, medium, and high compression

Pick a quality level for your PDF. Stronger levels reduce image quality more, but text should remain selectable.

Text-preserving output

The compressor avoids turning full pages into flat images, so normal PDF text is kept as text whenever the source PDF has a text layer.

On-demand resources

Larger compression files load only when needed from the configured PhoEdit asset domain.

Private browser processing

Your PDF is processed locally in the browser. The document does not need to be uploaded to PhoEdit servers.
