Linearize PDF for Fast Web View

Reorganize the internal structure of a PDF so web servers and browsers can show the first page before the whole file has downloaded — a feature known as fast web view. Linearized PDFs start displaying almost instantly when shared by link, embedded on a site, or streamed to mobile users. Because the optimization runs inside your browser with WebAssembly, your document never leaves your machine and the content itself stays byte-for-byte identical.

Frequently asked questions

Does linearization change the visible content?

No. Linearizing only reorders the internal file structure so the first page loads faster. Every page, image, and font remains exactly the same.

Who benefits from a linearized PDF?

Anyone publishing PDFs online. Readers on slow connections see page one immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to download first.

Is the optimization done on a server?

No — the file is processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded, so confidential documents remain fully private.
