A signed contract scanned at 300 DPI can be 10-20 MB for just a few pages. That's too large for most email attachments and slows down countersignature. Use GekiPDF's compress-pdf tool to shrink it to under 2 MB while keeping text sharp enough for legal review.
Upload your file (up to 50 MB) and pick the Recommended preset (~150 DPI). It rewrites each page, drops metadata, and keeps the text layer intact. A 16-page scan takes about 1 second. You get 40 conversions per hour, no signup, and no watermark.
Frequently asked questions
Will my signature still be visible after compression?
Yes. The Recommended preset keeps text and signatures legible. For very detailed scans, use Light (~200 DPI) if you need extra clarity.
How long does the compressed file stay online?
Files are deleted automatically after one hour. Download your result right away—no account needed.
Can I compress multiple contracts in one go?
You can convert up to 40 files per hour from the same IP address. Each file must be under 50 MB.
