Free PDF Compressor

Free PDF Compressor is a simple application with a pretty suggestive name. It is designed to provide a fast method for significantly reducing the size of your PDF documents, which results in less occupied disk space.

Aside from obtaining extra available storage space on your hard disk, reducing the size of PDF files can be of use when you want to send a file via email, share it using other transfer methods or upload it to your phone. It greatly reduces the time needed to open a large PDF document, especially if it contains numerous images. Free PDF Compressor aims to to give you a helping hand in solving these issues, while also finding a balance between the low size and the document quality.

It comes with a set of five compression settings that you can choose from, each one using a different compression ratio. Normally, the so-called ‘Screen’ configuration generates the smallest output file, while the ‘Prepress’ configuration has the lowest compression rate and creates a rather large PDF file, since it preserves the quality and the colors.

There is also a special option that can be used for generating PDF files that can be used as ebooks and read on a mobile phone, creating outputs with medium resolution and low quality.

The usage is very simple and even beginners shouldn’t have any problems in figuring out how everything works. Simply choose the input file and the output location, select the desired configuration and with the press of a button, the application starts the compression process.

To sum up, Free PDF Compressor is an efficient compression tool that can be of use when it comes to gaining some space on the hard drive. Combining efficiency with ease of use, it enables you to quickly generate PDF documents with a significantly reduced size and acceptable quality.
