What makes a PDF so large (1 Mo)?
A 1 Mo PDF typically contains high-resolution images, complex vector graphics, or embedded fonts. Scanned documents, presentations converted to PDF, and reports with many photos are the most common cases. The good news: these elements can be optimized without losing readability through smart compression.

Technical compression details
Our algorithm analyzes each component of your 1 Mo PDF: images (JPEG, PNG), fonts, metadata, and internal structure. Images are recompressed with an optimized ratio, fonts are subsetted (only used characters are kept), and redundant metadata is removed. Result: a reduction to approximately 200 Ko with no visible impact on document quality.
