Compress PDF to 10 MB
Drop your PDF; Yeti shrinks the images step by step until the file is under 10 MB, without touching the text.
How to compress a PDF to 10 MB
Yeti first re-encodes the photos and scans in your PDF lightly; if the file is still over 10 MB, it steps up the compression and picks the lightest result that fits. Text, fonts and line art stay exactly as they are, so lettering stays sharp.
10 MB is a generous limit for email attachments and most upload forms; images usually change so little that you won't notice. If your file is already under 10 MB, it is left as it is.
To stay safely under the limit, 1 KB counts as 1000 bytes: the result fits whether the form counts 1000 or 1024 bytes per KB.
Frequently asked questions
What if the PDF can't get under 10 MB?
Yeti gives you the smallest file it can reach and shows its size. If the document is mostly text and fonts, there are few images to shrink; removing pages or splitting the file helps in that case.
Will the text get blurry?
No. Only images are re-encoded; text, fonts and lines stay as they are. In scanned documents the page itself is an image, so the text shrinks along with it; zoom in on the result before you send it.
Can I compress several PDFs at once?
Yes. Each file is brought under 10 MB on its own; download the results one by one or as a ZIP.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
