## What is PressPDFly?

Watch an ad to export your file. You can also buy one ad-free export or make a one-time purchase for lifetime ad-free exports.

Make your PDFs smaller and easier to save or share. Set a target size with PressPDFly, check the result, then save or share.

SET THE SIZE YOU NEED
Choose 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB or 5 MB, or enter a custom size limit. Prepare application documents, scanned files and email attachments.

THREE COMPRESSION MODES
Smart: prioritizes preserving text and document structure, compressing suitable image pages.
Scanned: adjusts image quality in scanned PDFs, skipping pages with existing text layers or interactive content.
Extreme: converts pages to images to try to reduce the file size further.

PREVIEW BEFORE EXPORTING
Compare the original and compressed sizes and the percentage saved, then preview the compressed PDF. Return to the settings to make adjustments. Use the system share sheet to save to Files or send to another app.

PROCESSED ON YOUR DEVICE
PDF compression happens locally, without uploading the file for processing. Handle one PDF at a time with a simple workflow.

Results depend on the original file. Some PDFs may not reach the selected size limit. Extreme mode may reduce clarity and remove selectable text, forms and annotations. Check the preview before exporting.
