Google Drive gives 15 GB of free storage shared across Gmail, Google Docs, and Drive. Large PDFs consume storage quickly. Compressing PDFs before uploading saves significant space and makes sharing links faster.
A 50 MB scanned PDF compresses to around 5–10 MB with Good compression. That is a 10× storage saving per file. For teams that regularly upload documents, this extends free storage dramatically.
Go to pdfeditor.onl/compress-pdf. Upload your PDF. Select Good compression for balanced size and quality, or Strong if storage saving is the priority. Click Compress Now and download the result.
Tip: Compare the before and after sizes shown in the result panel. For most scanned documents, Good compression achieves 50–70% size reduction.
Go to drive.google.com. Click New → File Upload. Select the compressed PDF. The smaller file uploads faster and uses a fraction of your Drive quota.
For PDFs already in your Drive, compress them locally, upload the compressed version, and delete the original to reclaim storage space.
Individual files can be up to 5 TB. However, Google Drive previews PDFs up to 100 MB directly in the browser — smaller files preview more reliably.
No. Google Drive renders compressed PDFs identically to originals.
