Compress PDF for Email

Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo cap attachments at 25MB. Compress your PDF to fit — in seconds, in your browser.

Compress PDF for Email

No signup. Your files stay in your browser.

Email attachment limits are a constant frustration. Gmail allows 25MB, Outlook 20MB, and many corporate mail servers cap at 10MB. fileGOD compresses your PDF to fit any email limit by reducing image quality, stripping metadata, and optimizing the internal structure. Entirely browser-based — no upload, no signup, no waiting for server processing.

How It Works

1

Drop your PDF

Drag in the PDF that is too large for email. Supports files up to 100MB.

2

Compress to fit

The tool reduces the file size — often by 60–90% — to get it under your email provider's limit.

3

Attach and send

Download the compressed PDF and attach it to your email. Done.

Why fileGOD?

Fits Gmail's 25MB Limit

Compress bloated PDFs to well under 25MB so they sail through Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, and corporate servers.

60–90% Size Reduction

Most email-ready PDFs shrink by at least 60%. Heavy presentation decks and scanned documents see 80–90% reduction.

Preserves Content Quality

Text, links, and bookmarks stay intact. Images are resampled to a quality level optimized for screen viewing.

No Upload Required

Compress PDFs for email without the irony of uploading sensitive attachments to yet another server.

Batch Mode

Multiple attachments too large? Compress them all in one session.
