Make a smaller image-only copy.

Rasterize each page on this device, then rebuild it as a PDF. This lossy conversion removes searchable text and document features.

Up to 40 MB and 40 pages; pages are capped at 20 megapixels each. Output limit 120 MB.

Important: This creates image-only pages. Searchable/selectable text, OCR, links, forms, signatures, bookmarks, attachments, metadata, tags, and accessibility structure are not preserved. Vector detail is rasterized. The result may be larger. Do not use for signed, archival, accessible, or form-sensitive records. Keep the original.

What changes in this copy

Each source page is drawn onto a white canvas at your selected resolution and encoded as JPEG, then placed at the original page dimensions. Compare the actual file size and inspect fine print. This is a lossy rasterization workflow, not general-purpose or lossless PDF optimization.
