Why PDF compression is essential to yourself and your business

At SaferPDF, we understand the significance of optimising document workflows and making your work easier for you. That’s why we have developed a cutting-edge browser-side PDF compressor, designed to streamline compression processes and enhance productivity for individuals and businesses, all whilst ensuring that the data never leaves your computer.

But why is PDF compression so essential? Let’s dig into the seven reasons why.

More space, less clutter

PDF files, especially those containing images or graphics, can be substantial in size. Large files not only take over valuable storage space on your PC but can also pose challenges when sharing or uploading documents. You have probably tried at least once to download a file on your laptop and realised that there just wasn’t enough space left on your hard drive. Well, that’s where we intervene. PDF compressions like SaferPDF significantly reduce file size while maintaining document quality, allowing you to save precious storage space (for your holiday snaps or client contracts) and expedite your file transfer process.

Efficiency and reduced waiting times

These days, every single second of your workday counts. We just don’t have 5 minutes to spare to wait for incredibly large files to send… Especially if Google tells us we can’t, because they are in fact, too big. Large PDF files can lead to slow loading times, causing frustration amongst individuals and colleagues, and impede on your everyday workflow efficiency. By compressing PDFs, you ensure swift document access, seamless and happy collaboration and timely correspondence with your time-conscious peers.

Limited internet? No problem!

For businesses operating in bandwidth-constrained environments or individuals with limited internet connectivity, living in remote locations, efficient bandwidth usage is oh so important. Whether you’re out camping or enjoying a corporate retreat with your team on a remote island, you’ll never have to worry about a bad internet connection to send out important documents ever again. Compressed PDFs require less bandwidth for transmission, facilitating smoother document sharing and reducing your data consumption costs.

Accessibility at the forefront

We all know this one person who has a laptop from 1999 and refuses to switch to a newer model “because it works just fine”. Accessibility is crucial for reaching exactly these legends, including those with slower internet connections or even older devices. SaferPDF compressed PDFs load faster across various devices and internet speeds, ensuring a seamless user experience for everyone.

Lowering your carbon footprint is always a win

Now you might not be conscious of it, however the internet and the files you send out/receive increase your carbon footprint every single day. In line with sustainability goals, optimising document management practices, whether it is for an individual at home or a global conglomerate, contributes to environmental conservation efforts. By compressing PDF files, you reduce the carbon footprint associated with data storage and transmission, aligning with eco-friendly business practices and basically saving the planet, kilobyte by kilobyte.

Your data stays safe with you, no matter what

Has your data ever been leaked after a business you’ve interacted with got hacked? Although we sincerely hope that it isn’t the case, we’re aware that data safety is becoming a scary worldwide issue. People are increasingly becoming aware that their data is being sold, bought, stalked and used against them. Although compliance requirements and data security standards are paramount for businesses across all industries, not all online PDF compression solutions are safe for secure use. At SaferPDF we understood that and we’re ensuring that your data never leaves your browser. Your sensitive information is safeguarded and you should not be afraid of leaks anymore.

Your wallet will thank you

Who doesn’t like to save money on expensive software? Whether you’re on your own or work in a business, you are aware that some PDF software can be quite costly, especially when you use only 10% of its functionalities. By creating SaferPDF, we know that what you are most concerned with is this: “Does it work?” and “Can I get a bang for my buck?”. The answer to both these questions are a resounding: YES.
