How to Compress PDF for Lawyers
Reduce legal document PDF size for court filing systems and client portals. Free browser tool.
Court eFiling systems (PACER, state courts) often have file size limits of 5-10MB per document. FixMyPDF compresses legal PDFs while preserving legibility.
Open the Compressor
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/compressor in any browser.
Upload the Legal Document
Select the brief, exhibit, deposition transcript, or motion PDF.
Use Light Compression for Legal Docs
For court filings, choose light compression to maintain text clarity at 100% zoom. Medium compression is fine for client copies.
Verify Before Filing
Download the compressed PDF and verify it opens correctly and all text is legible before submitting to court eFiling systems.
Court eFiling Limits
Federal courts via CM/ECF typically limit filings to 25MB per document. State courts vary — some allow only 5MB. Always compress exhibits from scanned discovery materials.
