Compress PDF: what it is and when to use it
Cut the size of scanned PDFs or files full of images. Choose light, medium, or strong compression and compare sizes before you save.
Compressing a PDF reduces its file size so you can email it, upload it to a portal with a size limit, or store it without taking up extra space. Compression optimizes the images inside the file, which are usually what weigh the most.
With Rayo PDF GO you choose the compression level, see how much the file shrinks, and save the optimized copy. The process runs on your device, so your documents are not uploaded to the internet.
Common uses
Email a PDF that exceeds the attachment limit.
Upload documents to portals that ask for under 2 or 5 MB.
Free up space on your phone or computer.
Share large scans through messaging apps.
Tips for better results
- Start with a medium level: it usually keeps text sharp.
- PDFs with lots of photos shrink the most.
- Always keep a copy of the original in case you need more quality.
