How it works

Three steps, all in your browser

  1. Step 1Choose a PDFIt is read in this tab, not uploaded
  2. Step 2Pick a levelLossless, Balanced or Strong
  3. Step 3Check, then saveSee the new size before you download

Good to know

The honest limits, before you spend time on a file

The three levels

Lossless keeps text selectable and graphics sharp, but the saving may be small. Balanced and Strong turn each page into an image, which works well for scans and photos — text in the result is no longer selectable.

Not a size target

PDF compression here can't be aimed at an exact size. You choose a level and see the result; if it came out no smaller, AMGlide won't offer it as a download.

Limits

PDFs up to 100 MB. Balanced and Strong work on documents up to 100 pages. Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

Beyond this one task

Give AMGlide the file. It works out the rest.

Smart Drop reads what you brought and suggests what fits — then carries it into the next step without asking for it again.
