How to shrink a pdf under etsy’s 20mb file limit

  1. 1

    Upload your planner or printable

    Drop the PDF that is over Etsy’s 20MB limit.

  2. 2

    Images are reduced

    The PDF is compressed by lowering the resolution of the images inside it. If one pass is not enough to get under 20MB, a stronger one runs.

    Check the size and download

    You see the new size against the 20MB limit before you download.

Frequently asked questions

What is Etsy’s file limit?

A digital listing can hold up to five files, each up to 20MB. Etsy can change this, so check the current limit in Etsy’s seller help.

Will my planner look blurry?

Images inside the PDF are reduced, so photos and textured backgrounds can look softer, especially if the file needed the stronger pass, which brings images down to screen resolution. Text and vector shapes are not turned into images and stay sharp. If it will be printed, compare a page before you sell it.

What if it is still over 20MB?

The result says so. Remove pages or large images from the source file, or split the file in two and offer both as separate downloads.

Are hyperlinks and bookmarks kept?

Not verified for every file, so open the result and test the links in a planner before listing it.
