We've all been there: you try to email a PDF, but it bounces back because the file is "too large." High-resolution images and embedded fonts can bloat your documents significantly.

Here are the best ways to shrink your PDF size so you can share it easily.

1. Use an Online Compressor

The fastest method is using a dedicated compression tool. Tools like MYPDFTOOLS optimize the internal structure of the PDF and resample images.

2. Remove Unwanted Pages

3. Flatten the PDF

Forms and annotations add extra data layers. Flattening the PDF merges these layers into the background content, reducing size.
