I'm going to select the image there, the compressed one. Back in Pages I could go to my first image here.
I can get rid of these guys and I'm just going to use these. So I've got 3 very compressed versions of the originals here. Now I'm going to do the same for these two images here. If not you could have gone with something like around 40K and see if that works for you. If I open it up you can see the quality definitely is worse, going from 80K to 20K definitely took its toll. I'm going to Save it with another name like that. Let's go to File now and export and also select JPEG and set the quality down and let's get the file size to something like 20K. I'll click OK and you can see how much smaller the file is there. All by going to a smaller width and resolution. But you could see the file size is much smaller. This should still look passable when viewed on a computer screen. We're going to set it to a low resolution of 72 pixels. But since we want to compress this a lot we want to make some sacrifices here. Now resolution would be something like 300 pixels for it to look good in printing or if you want to zoom in. If the image was only using, say, half the width of the page then maybe I could set this to 4 inches. The image is stretched all the way across the page. With some margins it is about 7½ inches across. Remember the document was just a regular document. But if you're just doing it in a pdf document on a computer screen then it is probably overkill. If you want to print it out on a high resolution printer.

If I click on i here I can see that this is 4000 pixels across which is great if you want the full resolution image. A better way to do it is to first adjust the size to make it appropriate for the document. But I'm not going to be able to get it down too much smaller. The smaller the file size the more compressed it is. Now in Preview I can go to File, Export and from there I could set the format to JPEG and set the quality to something smaller. If I double click it it will open up in Preview. Now I've got each one of these files here exported at full resolution. So I'm going to do that for each one of these. You can drag that out to Export the image right from the Pages document to the Finder. You'll see the name of the file there with a little icon next to it. Because you can go to Format, Image in the right sidebar and you'll see File Info. But if you didn't don't worry about it too much. Maybe a folder that you created and you stored all the images there. Now, ideally you want to have all the images from the document somewhere where you can access them. Let's make the images inside of it smaller. Maybe you made your document in Microsoft Word or InDesign or something else. You open it up here in Pages and we can Edit it. This creates a smaller file but at lower resolution.Ī better way to do it would be to go back to the original source document. By using Preview's Quartz Filter compression we can compress all of the images inside it easily. So it is no surprise that it is almost 10MB in size. In this case we've got three high resolution images. The text really doesn't take up much space. Almost all the time when a pdf document is really big it is because the image is in it. You don't have as much resolution in there now. But if we look in this document here and we zoom in we can see it compressed the image quite a bit. Let's zoom in here on this image and you can see how high a resolution it is. Well, let's take a look at this pdf document. Then let's Save this and you could see instead of 9.5MB it's is now only 202KB. Just double click it and it should open up in Preview and then you can go to File, go to Export, and then from there you can choose, under Quartz Filter, Reduce File Size. A quick way to do that is to open it up in Preview. But let's say there's an upload limit of 5MB or something like that. So let's say you have a document and you create a pdf file from it and you need to submit it online or through some other process for business or for school.
