PDF Squish — Etsy Image Compressor

PDF Squish — Etsy Print Compressor (Add-On Tool)

Get your high-res, multi-page PDF printables under Etsy's 20MB limit without losing the crisp, professional quality buyers pay for.

What it does

PDF Squish is a standalone HTML tool — no installs, no subscriptions, no uploads to a server. Open it in your browser, drop in your PDF, set a target size, and it finds the sharpest version that still fits — automatically, page by page.

Under the hood it runs a two-step search: first it finds the highest resolution your target size can support, then fine-tunes the image quality within that resolution — so you get the best possible print quality for the file size you need, not just a flat compression preset.

Why Etsy sellers need this

Etsy caps digital downloads at 20MB total. Multi-page printable bundles — planners, activity packs, worksheet sets — blow past that fast once each page is a high-res print-ready image.

PDF Squish finds the smallest file size that keeps every page looking sharp, so a 20-page bundle still leaves headroom instead of forcing you to gut the resolution across the board.

Crisper, cleaner prints mean fewer complaints. Over-compressed or pixelated PDFs are one of the most common reasons buyers leave bad reviews on printables ("blurry when printed," "not the quality shown in photos"). Keeping resolution high protects your star rating.

More 5-star reviews feed Etsy's algorithm. Etsy's search ranking rewards listings with strong review velocity and rating. Fewer quality complaints and more "exactly what I wanted, great quality!" reviews means better visibility for every listing in your shop — not just the one buyers reviewed.

If the target size doesn't need much compression, it tells you and keeps your original untouched — you never lose quality you didn't need to lose.

100% private, runs in-browser. Your files never leave your device, which matters if you're compressing client mockups, unreleased designs, or bulk catalog exports.
