Shrink your PDFs so they are easy to send. Nothing is uploaded.

Toolo renders each page of the document as an optimised image, then reassembles these images into a new PDF. This method is very effective on documents that are heavy because of their images: scans, photos, brochures, exported presentations. A scan of several dozen megabytes often drops to a few megabytes.
There is an important trade-off: the text becomes an image. It can no longer be selected, copied or found by search, and clickable links disappear. For a contract to be signed electronically, or a document you need to copy passages from, keep the original.
| Level | Effect | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Light | High resolution, moderate saving | Documents to print, small print |
| Recommended | Good balance of readability and size | Email, uploading to a portal |
| Strong | Minimum size, less detail | Very strict size limits, archiving drafts |
Start with "Recommended", open the result and zoom in on the small print. If it is still readable and the size is right, you are done. Otherwise, try another level: the original file is never modified.
A PDF produced directly by a word processor, with text and few images, is already light. Turning it into images can even make it heavier. If Toolo finds no saving, keep the original. In that case, to reduce the size, remove unnecessary pages with Split PDF instead.
All processing happens in your browser: rendering the pages and building the new PDF. No file is sent to a server, which matters when you are compressing an ID document or a bank statement.
No. Pages are rendered and reassembled in your browser. The document never leaves your device.
Because each page is converted into an image: that is what allows a large saving on scanned documents. If you need the text, keep the original PDF.
Yes, for a PDF made mostly of text, which is already very light. Compression is mainly useful for scans and photo-heavy documents.
Yes. For a clean print, choose the "Light" level, which keeps a higher resolution.
