Cretivkit draws every page and embeds those pictures in a new PDF. That often shrinks a scan or a photo-heavy file. A PDF that is mostly sharp text can become larger, and you will no longer be able to select the words. The page reports the real sizes either way. Password-protected files are refused.

How to use it

  1. Drop one PDF of up to 40 pages and 25 MB.
  2. Set the render scale and JPEG quality. Higher scale keeps smaller type more readable and makes a bigger file.
  3. Download only if the measured size and the preview of the tradeoff are acceptable.

Good to know

  • The side shows the first pages of the new file, up to six. Open the download to check small text.
  • Forms, links, and bookmarks are not copied.
  • Files over 40 pages must be split first.

Questions

Will the text stay selectable?

No. Compression here means a picture of each page.

What if the file grows?

The status says it is larger and by how much. Keep the original.
