# Make a PDF smaller

`POST /v1/pdf/compress`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.dharun.dev`
- URL: `https://api.dharun.dev/v1/pdf/compress`
- Auth: none declared

Removes duplicate fonts and images and packs the file's structure. Pictures are not re-compressed, so a scanned PDF shrinks little. The original size is in the X-Original-Bytes header; when nothing was gained, the original comes back.

## Response `200`

Success
