Email attachment limits
Gmail caps attachments at 25 MB per email. Outlook is 20 MB by default. A medium pass usually clears either limit on a typical 50 MB scanned document.

How it works
Pick a compression level. The size-versus-quality tradeoff is up to you.
1
Drop your PDFs
Add up to 20 files at once. Each can be up to 100 MB. The total file size is shown in the toolbar so you can see what you started with.
2
Choose how hard to compress
Low keeps images crisp and shrinks file size 10-30 percent on most documents. Medium is the usual pick. High goes after image-heavy PDFs and can cut size by half or more.
3
Compress and download
Click Compress. Each file comes back individually so you can keep what you want and discard the rest if a level was too aggressive.
What people use it for
Web upload caps
Job application portals, government forms, and university submission pages often cap PDFs at 5-10 MB. High compression usually gets you under.
Archiving and storage
Long-term storage is cheaper if your scans aren't 200 MB each. Medium is the safer pick when you might need to read text later.
Sharing on slow connections
Smaller PDFs open and download faster on field hardware, hotel Wi-Fi, and metered mobile data.

Frequently asked questions
Text usually does, because most PDF text is vector and isn't re-encoded. What gets compressed is embedded images. Scanned pages, which are images, can soften visibly at the High setting.
