Strip out all images to shrink the file or keep a text-only version.
Remove every embedded image from a PDF, leaving just the text and vector content. Because images are usually the largest part of a PDF, this dramatically shrinks the file — handy when you only need the text. Files are processed securely and never stored.

Often dramatically — images are usually the bulk of a PDF’s size, so a photo-heavy document can shrink by 80% or more. A text-only report with a couple of small logos will barely change, since there was little image data to remove in the first place.
For emailing within a size limit, for feeding text into another system, for printing cheaply in black and white, and for accessibility work where the pictures are decorative rather than informative. It is also a quick way to check whether a document’s meaning survives without its illustrations.
Usually, yes. Our PDF Compressor recompresses images rather than deleting them, which typically halves the file while keeping the document intact. Removing images entirely is the right call only when you genuinely want text alone, or when compression has not shrunk it enough.
