Optimize for the web
Filery shrinks bloated files down to web size without wrecking their quality. Text, fonts and layout are never touched.
Why print PDFs are so big
Almost never the text. On that 28 page file, 95 percent of the bytes were images, every one of them CMYK at 300 to 411 ppi. Correct for a printing press, pure waste on a web page.
CMYK to sRGB
Drops a whole colour channel and makes colour render consistently across browsers instead of leaving each viewer to interpret it.
Resampled to real placement
Filery measures where each image actually lands on the page, not what its metadata claims. Nothing is ever upscaled.
A codec per image
Photographs get JPEG. Line art, logos and charts stay lossless, because JPEG rings around hard edges.
Fast Web View
Output is linearized, so pages start rendering while the file is still downloading. Metadata and unused objects are stripped.
What it never touches
- Text. Never rasterized, never re-encoded. Fonts stay embedded exactly as they were.
- Layout. Page size, order, margins, links, bookmarks and annotations all survive.
- Vectors. They stay vectors. Nothing is flattened into an image.
- Your original. Filery writes a new file and leaves the source alone.
Three levels, one click
Drop a file in, pick how hard to squeeze, and Filery shows the predicted size before you commit. Balanced is the default.
High Quality
200 ppi. Around 82 percent smaller. For pages that will be zoomed or printed casually.
Balanced
150 ppi. Around 91 percent smaller. Retina sharp at full page zoom. The recommended default.
Maximum
110 ppi. Around 94 percent smaller. The smallest practical size that stays comfortably readable.
