How to compress PDF
Big PDFs are slow to send and clumsy to store. Bytefuse downsamples images to the right resolution and re-encodes them cleanly, so your file gets much smaller while the text stays crisp — no blurry pages, no broken layout.

No. We compress per content type, so photos shrink while text stays sharp. Choose Basic for the best quality or Maximum for the smallest file.
Image-heavy PDFs often drop by more than half, while text-only files compress less. You'll see the exact saving after processing.
Start with Medium for a solid balance. Drop to Basic if you need pristine print quality, or go Maximum when you just need it to fit an upload limit.
