Convert a PDF for the web
Screen-resolution images, compact structure and a title search engines can index — ready to publish.
Compression re-renders image-heavy pages as JPEG images. With “Keep text selectable” on, pages made of text and vector graphics are only re-saved and stay searchable; pages that are mostly pictures are flattened.

Updated · by the PDFkitt team
A PDF on a website is judged by how fast it appears in the browser and whether search engines can make sense of it. This preset compresses images to screen resolution, keeps text selectable and searchable, rebuilds the file compactly and lets you set the document title — which browsers show in the tab and Google uses as the result headline.
Note that true “fast web view” (linearization) is not something browsers can write; modern viewers stream any compact PDF well. The work happens on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PDF linearized?
No — linearization needs a specialised writer. A compact file with screen-resolution images loads quickly in every modern browser regardless.
Will Google index the text?
Yes, as long as the text stays selectable (keep the recommended setting on).
Is my PDF uploaded to compress it?
No. Pages are re-encoded inside your browser; the file never leaves your device.
