Apple Pages and Keynote exports embed high-resolution images, often doubling your PDF's size. A 20-page Keynote with photos can hit 30 MB, too big for email or upload forms. GekiPDF's compress-pdf tool rewrites the file using Ghostscript presets, dropping embedded image resolution while keeping text sharp. Choose Light (~200 DPI) for minor cuts, Recommended (~150 DPI) for most files, or Extreme (~96-120 DPI) for maximum reduction—up to 90% smaller in many cases.
No signup, no watermark, free forever. Upload a PDF up to 50 MB, pick a preset, and get a compressed version in about a second for a 16-page scan. The text layer stays intact, so you can still select and search words. Metadata is removed automatically. You're limited to 40 conversions per hour per IP, and files are deleted after one hour. Try it now on your next Pages or Keynote export.
Frequently asked questions
Will compression make my Keynote PDF look blurry?
Only if you choose Extreme. Recommended keeps text crisp at 150 DPI, which suits screens and printing at normal sizes. For slides with fine details, use Light.
Can I compress multiple pages at once?
Yes, the whole PDF is processed in one go. There's no need to split first—just upload the entire file and download the compressed result.
Does this work on scanned documents from Pages?
Yes, it works on any PDF, including scans exported from Pages. It downsamples bitmaps, reducing size significantly while preserving readability.
