PDF Squeeze vs PDF Under

PDF Squeeze makes big PDFs small without making them ugly — and it also scans, reads, signs, converts and answers questions about them, without a single byte leaving your iPhone. SCAN PAPER INTO PDF Point the camera at a page and PDF Squeeze finds the edges, squares it up and cleans it: shadows lifted, paper turned white, ink made sharp. Choose Auto, Grayscale or Black & White, then save. Every scan is searchable — the words are read on device, so you can find, copy and ask about them. SEND TO ANY COMPUTER AirDrop doesn't reach a Windows laptop or a Chromebook. Send to Computer does: type the short address it shows into any browser on the same Wi-Fi and download. No cable, no account, nothing uploaded. Sharing stops when you close the screen. ASK YOUR PDF ANYTHING Open a contract, a lease, a manual or a research paper and just ask. "What's the cancellation policy?" "When does this renew?" "What did they agree to pay?" Answers come with page citations you can tap to jump to the source, so you can check the wording yourself. It all runs on your device: iPhones with Apple Intelligence use the system model, and other iPhones can add an optional on-device model. Scanned and photographed pages are read with on-device OCR in more than twenty languages. SIGN WITHOUT PRINTING Sign with your finger, or type your name and pick a handwriting style. Your signature is stored as strokes, never a photo, so it stays crisp at any zoom — and it's baked into the page, so it survives compression and email and nobody can drag it off. MARK UP LIKE PAPER Highlight, draw freehand and add text boxes you can stretch to any shape. Undo anything, all the way back. TEXT STAYS SHARP Most compressors re-encode every page and hand you a blurry file. PDF Squeeze tries a vector-preserving pass first, keeping text crisp and selectable. Pages are only re-rendered when that actually saves space, and your file never comes out larger than it went in. Filled-in forms keep their answers. HIT AN EXACT SIZE Email limit? Upload cap? Pick 1, 2, 5, 10 or 25 MB and PDF Squeeze finds the best quality that fits just under it — or tells you honestly when it can't. SEE THE DIFFERENCE Drag the Before & After slider across any page to compare the original with the compressed version.

Your PDF is ready. Then the upload form says: file too large. Maybe it needs to be under 10 MB. Or 2 MB. Or even 500 KB. You don't want to learn compression settings, and you definitely don't want to keep guessing—compress, check the size, try again, compress again. You just need the PDF to fit. That's what PDF Under is built for. Tell it the MB or KB you need, and it works toward exactly that number. But making a PDF smaller is only half the problem. It still has to look like your PDF. Some compression methods shrink a file by turning every page into a picture—smaller, yes, but the text is no longer selectable, and the document never quite looks right again. PDF Under does it differently. Whenever possible, it keeps your text and vector content untouched, and compresses only the embedded images that were taking up the space in the first place. Smaller file. Same document. You choose the number. 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 5 MB, 10 MB, or a custom target of your own—no "low, medium, high" guessing games, just the size you were actually asked for. And before you save or share anything, you see the result first: the final size, the finished pages, exactly what you're about to send. Where does this happen? On your phone. Not on a server somewhere. Your PDF is never uploaded, which matters more than usual when the document you're shrinking is the one you'd rather not hand to a random compression website in the first place. No account. No sign-in. Just your file, compressed, still yours. Now, the honest part. Not every target is reachable. A fifty-page scanned document doesn't become 500 KB without something giving—that's just how file size and image quality work, and PDF Under won't pretend otherwise. When your target is more aggressive than the document can survive, it tells you plainly, shows you the smallest version that's still readable, and lets you decide from there. No silent damage. No surprises when you open the file later. This is the app for the moment a portal, a form, an inbox, or a government website hands you a number and expects you to hit it—job applications, school submissions, legal filings, an email that keeps bouncing back because the attachment is too big. Select the PDF, set the target, compress, check the result, send it. Five steps, and you're done. PDF Under is free to try—your first three compressions cost nothing. After that, a Weekly, Yearly, or Lifetime plan unlocks unlimited use, so you're never stuck mid-deadline wondering if today's the day you run out. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Full pricing is shown in the app before you're asked to pay anything. Because when a website tells you your PDF is too large, you shouldn't have to become a compression expert just to send a document. You should just be able to get it under the limit.
