PDF Squeezer vs. Cloudinary
Cloudinary is built for images and video. PDF Squeezer is built for PDF compression.
Different focus
Cloudinary excels at image/video transformation, CDN, and media delivery. PDF handling (e.g. convert to images, optimize) is one of many features. PDF Squeezer is dedicated to PDF compression: one endpoint, tuned for maximum file size reduction and low latency.
- PDF-first — Our engine is built for PDF structure, embedded images, and metadata. Optimized for document workflows.
- Sub-second compression — Built for APIs and serverless; no need to combine with image pipelines.
- Simple pricing — Pay per PDF compression. No media credits or complex tiers.
When to use which
If you already use Cloudinary for images and need occasional PDF optimization, Cloudinary can work. If your main use case is compressing PDFs (e.g. uploads, reports, documents) and you want the best ratio and speed, PDF Squeezer is built for that.
