Compress scanned PDF
Scanned PDFs are notoriously huge — a single 10-page scan often runs 20–50 MB because each page is a high-resolution image. Smart compression typically reduces these by 70-90% while keeping the text clearly readable.

Frequently asked questions
Why are scanned PDFs so large?
Each page is stored as a high-resolution image. Modern scanners produce 200–300 dpi pages that take 1–5 MB each. Smart compression reduces image resolution where text remains crisp.
Will text in my scan still be readable?
Yes. Our compressor preserves text-region quality while aggressively compressing background areas. Stamps, signatures, and printed text stay clearly visible.
