Resizing a PDF

At SignHouse, you can reduce the file size of a PDF to 100KB or even under. You get to choose how much to resize your PDF by!

Does compressing change quality?

Not at all. Reducing a PDF’s file size means that we’re only making the document smaller, easier to store in your device, and also easier to send via email.

Furthermore, here’s what actually goes under the hood of our system:

  • A. It looks for data within your PDF document;
  • B. It only deletes data that’s not going to hurt the user’s experience.

Case Study: Over 95% of the uncompressed PDF documents have repetitive data that can be deleted in order to save up some space. That is exactly the information we’re looking to delete when reducing your PDF’s file size below 100KB.

For your comfort, here is a short list of the things that remain unchanged when uploading your PDF to reduce its size below 100KB:

  • Text;
  • Fonts;
  • Images;
  • Page settings;
  • Colours;
  • Tables.

What happens after reducing a PDF’s size?

Our system generates an identical copy of the PDF that you’ve uploaded – only now, the file is as small as 100KB.

As for your privacy, here’s what happens:

  • We delete the file that you’ve uploaded a few hours after the action;
  • The new, <100KB PDF is available in your library, where you can do whatever you need with it: re-edit, electronically sign, share, private-share, delete etc.

With our software, you’ve got 100% control of the documents.
