Google Docs exports at screen resolution, but pasted images stay at full weight. A 10-page document with screenshots can easily hit 25 MB. GekiPDF rewrites the file using Ghostscript presets: Light (~200 DPI), Recommended (~150 DPI), or Extreme (~96-120 DPI). Pick Recommended and you'll often see file size drop by up to 90% while text stays readable.
Upload your PDF (up to 50 MB) and choose a preset. The tool drops metadata and keeps the text layer, so search still works. A 16-page scan takes about 1 second. No signup, no watermark, and files are deleted after one hour. You get up to 40 conversions per hour per IP.
Frequently asked questions
Will compressing remove text from my Google Docs PDF?
No. The text layer is kept intact, so you can still select, copy, and search text. Only image resolution is reduced.
What's the difference between the three presets?
Light keeps ~200 DPI for near-original quality; Recommended uses ~150 DPI for good balance; Extreme goes down to ~96-120 DPI for smallest size, best for email attachments.
Can I compress multiple files quickly?
Yes, each conversion takes about a second for a typical scan. You're limited to 40 conversions per hour per IP, which covers most batch tasks.
