How to Reduce PDF File Size Without Losing Quality
Compress a PDF to a smaller size while keeping images and text sharp. Best-quality compression explained.
Reducing PDF size without visible quality loss is possible with the right compression level. FixMyPDF's Low and Medium compression targets invisible redundancy rather than image quality.
Low Compression
Removes structural redundancy and optimises internal data without touching images or fonts. Typical reduction: 15–30%. No visible quality change at any zoom level.
Medium Compression
Downsamples images above 150 DPI to 150 DPI. For most screens (72–96 DPI) this is completely invisible. Typical reduction: 30–60%. Safe for most documents.
What to Avoid
High compression significantly reduces image resolution. Use it only when file size is critical and image quality is secondary (archiving, internal reference docs).
Steps
Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/compressor. Upload. Start with Low compression. Check the resulting file size. Only move to Medium if more reduction is needed.
