3 Reliable Ways to Reduce PDF Size
1. Intelligent Compression
The most effective method is using RefineDoc's intelligent compression algorithm. It identifies redundant metadata and streamlines internal structures without affecting visual clarity. 100% client-side.
2. Removing Redundant Pages
Often, multi-page PDFs contain appendices or blank pages that add significant weight. Splitting or deleting pages can drastically reduce file size.
3. Optimizing Image Resolution
Downsampling images from 300 DPI to 72 or 150 DPI provides the most substantial size reduction for screen reading.
