Choose Compression

Wait for Processing

Large PDFs take longer to process than small ones. Allow 30-60 seconds for a 100MB file. Progress is shown in the browser.

Why Large PDFs Happen

Large PDFs typically come from: scanned documents (high DPI images), CAD/engineering exports (complex vector data), or photo collections. Each compresses differently — scanned docs compress most.
