Oversized PDFs bounce from email servers, fail portal uploads, and crawl on slow connections. The PdfPixels Optimize suite shrinks documents to the exact size you need — 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 300KB, 500KB, or under 1MB — while keeping text selectable and pages readable. Beyond compression, you can linearize PDFs for instant web viewing, repair corrupted files, flatten layers and form fields, convert to archival PDF/A, grayscale heavy color scans, and strip hidden metadata with a full sanitize pass.
Enter a KB target and the engine iterates quality and image resolution until your document lands under the limit.
Text layers and image layers are optimized independently — paper scans shrink while selectable text remains crisp.
Linearized output supports byte-serving, so page 1 renders immediately while the rest of the file streams in.
Convert to PDF/A for long-term archiving, or sanitize away metadata, embedded scripts, and sensitive attachments.
Technical specifications
A PDF file consists of a cross-reference table, content streams, embedded fonts, and raster images. Oversized PDFs are almost always bloated by high-DPI uncompressed scans, duplicate font subsets, and unused objects.
