How to Resize a PDF file

Want to reduce the size of your PDF? Then, you have come to the right place. In this article, we’ll show how you can use our free in-house tool to resize PDF.

We are in the exciting modern era of technology - like who would have imagined downloading GBs of data in minutes. But still, everyone prefers their data to be limited in size. Simply because it gets easier to access, upload, download, and share.

The same goes for PDF documents. So today, we’ll learn how to resize bulky PDFs to lightweight soft-copies. And along with some more details on why you would want them compressed in the first place.

Why Resize PDF

We resize the PDF file to reduce its size so it can easily be shared, edited, and viewed. PDFs that are hefty in size take some time to open, share and edit - depending on the performance of the device. By compressing a PDF file, we make it easily accessible.

For instance, you have to share 50 PDF files with 50 members of your group. Uploading original PDFs would consume a lot of time. However, if you compress all your PDFs, they’ll be shorter in size and hence easily shareable.

There are hundreds of use-cases of a resize PDF file tool - but they just remain the same. If you want to make your docs easily accessible, whether it’s downloading, viewing, or sharing, compression is the way forward.
