PrintFriendly and PDFs
We love helping people create printer-friendly versions of web pages and convert them to PDF files for free. We're the best at not only removing ads from web pages, but also removing navigation and other elements, so you can print a clean web page. Now, we help users upload all sorts of files and convert them to and from PDF online.
You can convert PDF documents to files like Word, Excel, and JPG, or convert any of those file types to PDF. We're here to make converting and editing content easy, whether it's an online Word document or converting a JPG to PDF, we've got you covered.
The Best PDF Compression Platform
PrintFriendly is the top tool for compressing PDFs online. Our compression software has many benefits, like secure compression of files and compatibility with multiple browsers and operating systems. Plus, our file compression happens right in the browser, so you don't need to download any bulky or expensive software like Adobe Acrobat.
PDF compression has become a necessity. Modern internet speeds now allow us to easily upload and download large files, but email clients like Gmail only allow us to send file that are up to 25 megabytes, so if you're trying to send large, high-quality documents via email, you're most likely going to be limited. Our software lets you compress PDFs and email them without issues.
Soon, our free PDF compression service will soon allow you to select multiple PDF documents to compress at one time, rather than dealing with single PDF compression, which can take days if done manually using a desktop application.
How to Compress Your PDF Files
We make it easy to compress PDFs. All you need is your browser and an internet connection. To get started, just follow the instructions below.
Upload or Drag and Drop Your PDF File
After selecting or dragging and dropping your file into the form above, your PDF will be compressed in moments. Using advanced software, our online PDF compressor works by compressing images and other objects, which aids in decreasing the size of the file without diminishing the quality of your document.
