Why is my PDF so large, and how can I reduce it safely?
Large PDFs often contain high-resolution scans, repeated images, embedded fonts or uncompressed pages. Identify the source before resampling or splitting.
Steps
- Check whether it is scanned or text-based.
- Review page count and image resolution.
- Remove blank or unnecessary pages.
- After compression, check text, links and orientation.

Worked example and limits
If a form accepts 2 MB and your PDF is 5 MB, merging or splitting is not inherently compression. Check whether separate uploads are allowed before extracting only the required pages. If embedded images dominate the size, resize the source images and recreate the PDF. Preserve small-text readability and every page required by the receiving service.
