Tools

Compress

Makes a file smaller. On a PDF full of text this subsets the embedded fonts and then checks the result against the original pixel by pixel, rather than rasterising the pages — so the words stay selectable and searchable. On images, video and audio it re-encodes.

How to reach it

  1. Pick the file up in Finder, as if you were moving it.
  2. Hold ⌥. The ring of tools appears around the cursor.
  3. Let go toward Compress.

What it accepts
