Why Compress PDF for Web — Optimize for Fast Loading?

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the ideal PDF file size for websites?
Under 5 MB is ideal. Most users won't wait more than a few seconds for a download. Compress large reports and catalogs to keep them accessible.
Should I also linearize the PDF?
Yes. Linearized PDFs load page-by-page in browsers instead of downloading entirely first. Use our Optimize PDF tool after compressing.
