You send invoices and contracts over chat and email, where size decides delivery speed. A 20 MB PDF can stall a client's inbox or get bounced. GekiPDF rewrites your PDF with Ghostscript presets: Light (~200 DPI), Recommended (~150 DPI), or Extreme (~96-120 DPI). A 16-page scan typically drops from 32 MB to about 1.5 MB in roughly one second.
The tool keeps the text layer, so clients can still search and select text. It also drops metadata—no hidden author names or edit times. Files up to 50 MB are accepted; you get 40 conversions per hour per IP. No signup, no watermark, and files are deleted after one hour.
Frequently asked questions
Will my invoice look blurry after compression?
No. The Recommended preset (~150 DPI) keeps text sharp for screen viewing and printing. Only extreme downsampling at ~96-120 DPI may show slight softening on zoomed-in graphics.
Can I compress a contract with signatures?
Yes. The tool preserves the visual layout, including handwritten signatures and logos. Choose Light preset if you need higher detail; it still reduces size significantly.
How fast is it for a typical freelance document?
A 16-page scan processes in about one second. Smaller text-based PDFs take even less time. You can convert up to 40 files per hour from the same IP.
