Optimize a PDF for the web: smaller, faster, more shareable
1 min read·25 July 2026
Want to publish a PDF on a website or quickly send it via email? You want the smallest possible file without quality loss. PDFrust helps you with that.
Why optimize a PDF?
Large PDFs load slowly on websites, resulting in download times of more than 10 seconds. Search engines rank pages with fast downloads higher. An optimized PDF is also easier to email.
Compress PDF with PDFrust
PDFrust's compress tool significantly reduces file size — often 50–80% smaller. Upload your PDF, choose the compression level, and download the optimized version.

Compress images separately
Does your PDF contain many photos? Use the image compress tool to shrink the photos in your PDF without affecting text quality.
Remove unnecessary pages
Delete blank pages, appendices, or back covers you don't want to publish online. The organize tool lets you quickly select and delete pages.
Clean up metadata
PDFs sometimes contain hidden author information or file history. Edit or remove metadata with the metadata tool before publishing a PDF.
