Reduce PDF file size by re-compressing images, rewriting the structure or rasterising pages — with real before/after numbers.

PDF Optimization Tools
Smaller, cleaner, ready for its destination. Compression re-encodes images or rewrites the structure and shows exactly what it saved; cleanup strips scripts, actions and attachments; print preparation lays out several pages per sheet or a booklet; web optimisation linearises the file with qpdf so the first page appears while the rest downloads.
No estimates and no fake percentages: every result reports the real size before and after, and the original is kept when nothing can be gained.
