Compress a PDF, without spoiling its text.

Lighten a PDF that's too heavy for email or a thesis upload system, at one of three levels. The text stays the same text, selectable and searchable; only the pictures and spare fonts get lighter.

Three levels for three jobs

  • High quality: about 30% lighter, fit for print.
  • Balanced: about half the size, for email and sharing.
  • Smallest: about a fifth of the size, for reading on screen and systems with a size limit.

These figures are targets, not promises. The tool looks for the gentlest compression that reaches them, so the file never gets worse than it needs to.

Where a PDF's size comes from

Most of a PDF's size is two things: large pictures, and fonts embedded in full even when only a few letters of each are used. Goftito's tool takes out the unused letters of the fonts and lightens the pictures as much as needed. The text, links and layout aren't touched.

FAQ

Questions about Compress PDF

Short answers to the questions people ask most.

Didn't find your answer? After signing in, open a support ticket; we'll text you when it's answered. Open a ticket
01 Does the text get worse after compressing?

No: the text isn't turned into a picture and stays selectable and searchable. Only the pictures get lighter, and at “High quality” you won't see the difference even in print.

02 Which level suits a system with a size limit?

Try “Balanced” first, and “Smallest” if it's still too big. Both keep the text; only the pictures get simpler.

03 Is it free?

This tool runs on Goftito's own server and costs nothing; there is only a daily limit for each account. The tag at the top of this page always says how it stands today.

04 Do I need to sign up?

Yes: Goftito's tools live inside your account and don't work without signing in. An account takes a mobile number and an email address and a minute or two, and gives you every tool, translation and the voice studio.

05 Does it work on a phone?

Yes: nothing gets installed, and the tool works the same in a phone's browser as on a computer. The work runs in the background, so you don't have to keep the page open.

06 Where do my files go, and how long do they stay?

Each job's files belong to your account alone, stay a short while for you to download, and are then erased automatically; the tools page says for how long.
