About Optimize PDF for Web — Free Online Tool
Optimize PDF re-saves a document in a more compact form: objects are repacked into object streams and anything no longer referenced is dropped.
This is the lossless half of making a PDF smaller. No image is re-encoded and no page is redrawn, so the output looks identical and text stays selectable — the saving comes purely from how the file is packed, which means a document already written efficiently barely moves, and if the re-save comes out larger the original bytes are kept instead. It does not linearize: writing a genuine Fast Web View file needs a server-side tool, so Acrobat will still report Fast Web View as No afterwards.
The repack happens in your browser and the result is handed straight back, with no upload and nothing held anywhere.
Shaving size off a text-heavy PDF without touching its pictures, cleaning up a file that has been edited and re-saved many times, and tidying a document before it goes into a repository.
Also known as: linearize pdf · fast web view · stream pdf · speed up pdf loading · optimize pdf for web (linearize)
When to use it
Trims a document that has been edited and re-saved many times, without touching a single one of its pictures.
How it works
Loads the file, re-serialises it with object streams, and keeps the original bytes whenever the rewrite comes out larger.
Why Fast Web View Still Reads No
Linearization is a specific byte layout that lets a reader show page one before the rest of the file arrives. Producing it needs a server-side tool, so this repack does not create it, and Acrobat will report Fast Web View as No afterwards.
