Combining PDF Documents Made Easy

Merging multiple PDF files into a single document is a common need for students, professionals, and businesses. Here's how to do it effectively:

When to Merge PDFs

Optimizing PDF File Sizes

Large PDF files can be difficult to share via email or upload to websites. Here's how to effectively reduce PDF file sizes while maintaining quality:

Why PDF Files Become Large

Several factors contribute to large PDF file sizes:

• High-resolution images
• Embedded fonts
• Uncompressed content
• Multiple layers in design files
• Embedded multimedia

How Our PDF Compressor Works

Our compression tool uses smart algorithms to:

• Analyze document content and apply optimal compression
• Reduce image resolution without noticeable quality loss
• Remove unnecessary metadata
• Optimize font embedding
• Maintain text quality while reducing file size

Compression Options

We offer three compression levels:

1. Low compression: Minimal size reduction, best for printing
2. Medium compression: Balanced quality and size, good for screen viewing
3. High compression: Maximum size reduction, suitable for email attachments

For most documents, we recommend starting with medium compression and only using high compression if the file still needs to be smaller.
