# Compress a PDF for email.

Reduce a PDF for email attachments, preview the byte savings, then download or email the compressed file.

Email failures waste time. BitePDF shows the smaller PDF first, then lets you download it or send the finished file to your inbox.

## Target

email-ready PDF

## Example Result

- Original: 18 MB
- BitePDF output: 4.1 MB
- Saved: 77% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Designed for attachment-size problems
- Email delivery after export
- Create a link if an attachment is still too large
- Works for resumes, invoices, scans, and signed PDFs

## How To Use It

1. Drop the PDF and wait for the first result.
2. Use Medium for a balanced attachment.
3. Download or email the compressed copy after checkout.

## Good For

- Gmail attachments
- Outlook attachments
- client emails
- school submissions

## Questions

### Does BitePDF show the compression result before checkout?

Yes. BitePDF shows original size, output size, and saved percentage before you choose an export plan.

### Can I change compression strength?

Yes. The compression picker lets you choose Low, Medium, or High. Low favors quality, Medium balances quality and size, and High targets the smallest export.
