### "Compress and modify your PDFs to your liking." — 4.0/5

> **Cristian** | *22 September 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Foxit Software's PDF Compressor is an intuitive and very easy-to-use tool. You can compress your files quickly and safely in just a few steps. In addition, file compression can be done both online (directly on the website) or also through its downloadable suite.
> 
> **Cons**: If you only want to use the small file compression function on your website, this can be done very easily and for free. If you want to use the suite that also enables other functions (create files, OCR function, edit forms, separate files) you must download a program that is quite heavy (700mb) and whose value is quite expensive taking into account that you can perform the same functions as online with several different pages.
> 
> From time to time I must upload evaluations of some students to ministerial platforms, so my files must be few MB in weight so that the upload is expeditious and with PDF compressor I have always been able to do it without major problems and quickly. The only drawbacks are when the documents already have a very large weight and there have sometimes been errors (on the web platform).
