Compress PDF to Small Size: Reduce a 15 MB Word Export to Under 2 MB

Reduce large PDFs from Word exports. Choose Light (~200 DPI), Recommended (~150 DPI), or Extreme (~96-120 DPI). Up to 50 MB per file, no watermark.

    Runs the same engine as our Compress PDF tool.

    A 20-page Word document exported as PDF can reach 15 MB because it embeds fonts and full-resolution images. GekiPDF rewrites the file with Ghostscript presets that downsample images while keeping the text layer intact. Pick Light (~200 DPI) for print quality, Recommended (~150 DPI) for email, or Extreme (~96-120 DPI) for web uploads.

    Upload your file up to 50 MB; no signup needed. The tool processes about one second for a 16-page scan, so you wait less than a minute for most documents. Metadata is dropped automatically, and files are deleted after an hour. You get up to 40 conversions per hour per IP—enough for a day's batch.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will compressing remove the text so I can't search it?

    No. The text layer stays intact. Only image resolution and metadata are changed. Search and copy still work.

    What's the difference between Light, Recommended, and Extreme?

    Light keeps ~200 DPI (good for printing), Recommended uses ~150 DPI (balanced), Extreme goes to ~96-120 DPI (smallest size, fine for on-screen reading).

    Can I compress a file larger than 50 MB?

    No, the limit is 50 MB per file. If yours is bigger, split it first using the split-pdf tool, then compress each part.
