How to Compress PDF for Photographers

Reduce photo PDF portfolio size for client delivery and web sharing. Free browser tool.

Photographers often deliver proofing PDFs with dozens of high-res images. FixMyPDF compresses them for fast email delivery while keeping photos looking sharp.

Open the Compressor

Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/compressor in any browser.

Upload the Photo PDF

Select the portfolio, proof sheet, or client gallery PDF — typically very large due to image content.

Choose Compression Level

Light compression preserves photo quality best. Medium is acceptable for proofing PDFs where clients are selecting images, not printing them.

Email to Client

Download the compressed PDF and attach it to client email. A 100MB photo PDF can compress to 10MB — easily within email limits.

When to Deliver Full Resolution

Compress for proofing PDFs and deliverable previews. For print-ready final images, always deliver full-resolution files — not compressed PDFs.
