Files, History, sharing and deletion remain available to everyone. One eligible purchase works across Mac, iPhone and iPad when the devices use the same App Store account and the product supports sharing under Apple rules. Restore Purchases is included. Important: Requested file sizes are goals, not guarantees. Results depend on the source format, duration, complexity and quality that can be preserved safely. Strong PDF compression may flatten text, links, forms and accessibility structure, and LiteZo displays a warning when it uses that method.

About

Smaller PDF

Features
Read full description

PDFs too big to send? Make them smaller. Pick a file or share one straight from Mail or Files. Choose how small you need it — or name a size limit and Smaller works out the rest. Your file is saved to Files and handed back ready to attach. Everything happens on your device. No uploads, no servers, no account, nothing to sign up for. Some documents get smaller with nothing lost at all. Presentations often store the same image dozens of times; Smaller stores it once and keeps every pixel exactly as it was. Ten free compressions. After that, $12.99 once, forever. No subscription.
