Choose Your Compression Level

Different files need different settings. Alomar PDF should make that decision simple instead of making people guess.

Light

Light

Best when the PDF already looks good and you only need a smaller version.

  • Preserves more visual quality.
  • Good for resumes and polished documents.
  • Best for small reductions.
Example target

Quality first, smaller size second.

Recommended

Standard

The everyday option for emailing, uploading, and sharing PDFs without overthinking it.

  • Balanced quality and file size.
  • Good for proposals, reports, and forms.
  • Best default for most users.
Example target

Balanced compression for normal use.

Extreme

Extreme

Use this when you need the smallest file possible for strict upload limits.

  • Maximum size reduction.
  • Good for portals with hard file limits.
  • May reduce image quality more.

Smallest size when the limit matters.
