Why compress PDF under 25MB?

The 25MB Gmail attachment limit is something almost everyone hits eventually. Reports, presentations, portfolios, and multi-page scanned documents routinely exceed this limit. Rather than switching to Google Drive links (which recipients sometimes can't access), just compress the PDF to fit. AskPDF makes this a 10-second process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's Gmail's exact attachment limit?
Gmail allows attachments up to 25MB. Files larger than 25MB are automatically uploaded to Google Drive and shared as a link instead.
What if my PDF is 100MB?
Our tool can handle it. A 100MB PDF can typically be compressed to 15-25MB depending on content. For extreme cases, you can compress to maximum and also split unnecessary pages.
