How to Reduce PDF File Size for Email

We've all been there: you try to send an important document, and Gmail yells at you for exceeding the 25MB attachment limit. The solution isn't to split your file into ten parts—it's to compress it.

Why are PDFs so big?

PDFs often contain high-resolution images, embedded fonts, and hidden metadata that bloat the file size.

The Solution: Smart Compression

Using the Compress PDF tool, you can remove this excess data while keeping the visible document looking sharp.

How to Compress:

  1. Go to the Compress PDF tool.
  2. Upload your heavy file.
  3. The tool automatically optimizes images and fonts.
  4. Download a file that is often 50-80% smaller.

Now you can attach it to any email client without issues.
