How to compress a PDF for email
Learn how to shrink a PDF so it fits email attachment limits without making the file unusable.
Quick steps
- Open the Compress PDF tool.
- Upload the PDF you want to shrink.
- Start with a mid-range compression level.
- Download the result and confirm the file still looks clear enough to send.
When to increase compression
Increase the compression level when you are trying to hit a strict upload limit such as 5 MB or 10 MB.
When to stop
If text becomes blurry or scanned pages become hard to read, lower the compression setting and try again.
