Lumin works on your browser, or you can download our desktop app and keep Lumin handy on your computer. We’ve also got a mobile and tablet app which includes Lumin’s most popular features.
Can I just compress a PDF and go?
Yes, absolutely. You do need to create an account in order to use Lumin Tools, but it’s easily done and you’ll be accessing the compressor function in no time. You’ll have a range of other PDF features at your disposal too, should you choose to explore them.
Why is compressing better than ZIP?
When you ZIP a PDF file and send it from person to person, your files and data have a higher chance of becoming corrupt along the way. Plus, Lumin’s compressor tool is fast, easy and free. Save yourself the trouble and compress from the get-go!
