Compress PDFs for Email Limits Without Killing Quality
Gmail and client portals reject fat decks. A field workflow for free PDF compression that keeps logos readable.
Most email systems choke between 20–25MB. Scanned slides and exported decks blow past that fast. Compression is a skill, not a panic button.
Recommended order
- Finalize page order. Merge first with a free merge PDF tool if the deck is still in pieces.
- Start medium compression. Run compress PDF on a medium preset; spot-check image slides.
- Escalate only if needed. If still too large, compress again or split appendices into a second attachment.
- Keep a print master. Archive the uncompressed file for print or legal packages.
