Managing PDF files can sometimes be a headache if you don't have the right tools. The good news is that Smallpdf offers everything you need in the form of free online tools.

The PDF file format is a popular medium for information, thanks to its quality and ease of distribution. It can be consulted online or offline, and is supported by almost all modern computing equipment, from smartphones to computers.

When it comes to managing large numbers of PDF files or organizing them in a coherent way, difficulties can quickly arise if you don't have an effective toolbox at hand.

For example, handling large PDF files can quickly become a hassle unless you have an efficient PDF compressor at your disposal. That's where the Smallpdf platform comes in.

Its tool enables you to compress PDF files easily and free of charge. All you have to do is drag and drop the file into the appropriate zone, and the compression will vary according to the content of the file and the setting adopted (basic or strong compression, available as a premium).

Simplicity and security

The compressed PDF file functions in the same way as the original version, with no perceptible loss of quality. This not only frees up substantial storage space on devices, but also makes it possible to obtain lighter PDF files when online services, administrative or otherwise, impose file size limits.

The compression feature, which works with PDFs of up to 5 GB, is not only simple to use, but also widely compatible with PC and smartphone operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS...) without the need for complicated settings.

Smallpdf boasts reliable protection thanks to TLS encryption and ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Original PDF files are automatically deleted from the platform an hour after processing, and the service complies with RGPD guidelines on the collection and processing of personal data.

Not just PDF compression

The compression tool works with PDF files, but can also work with other file formats (JPG, Word, PPT and Excel), which are then converted to PDF and then compressed.

The basic function of the pdf compressor is free, but you can access advanced functions in its premium version, such as strong compression or batch processing of files.

And if you don't want to use it online, Smallpdf also offers a computer and smartphone tool for offline compression.

Smallpdf offers numerous other tools for managing PDF files. Merging, splitting, rotating or extracting pages are just some of the possibilities offered and also accessible online.
