    Smart Compression

    Our compression algorithm intelligently identifies and removes unnecessary data, such as redundant metadata and embedded fonts, without sacrificing the visual integrity of your document. Get the smallest file size possible while keeping your text sharp.

    Balance Size & Quality

    With three distinct compression levels, you have full control over the result. Choose High Quality for printing, Medium for general sharing, or Low to squeeze the file down for tight email attachments.
