Optimize PDF for Email Attachments
Optimize a PDF for email — reduce file size, strip bloat, downsample images, and produce a fast-opening, attachment-friendly PDF in one pass.
Why teams use Optimize PDF for Email
Email-optimised PDFs are smaller, faster to open on a phone, and friendlier to corporate mail servers. This tool does three things in one pass: it strips redundant metadata, unused embedded fonts, and orphaned objects that accumulate from edits; it downsamples embedded images to a screen-appropriate DPI; and it linearises the PDF so the first page renders in the recipient's reader before the full file has downloaded — useful on slow connections and on mobile.
Quality is controlled — there are three profiles (Email Light, Email Medium, Email Aggressive) corresponding to mild, moderate, and significant size reduction. For text-only documents, the difference is small (text is already compact in PDF). For image-heavy documents like presentations or marketing collateral, the size reduction is typically 60-80% without visible quality loss on a normal screen.
Used for sending newsletters as PDF attachments, distributing meeting packs, sharing investor decks, and any case where the recipient experience of opening the file matters. Files run over TLS, are deleted within an hour, and never logged.
