Why scans grow fast
Each scanned page may contain a full-page image. A short signed packet can become much larger than expected, especially when exported from a scanner, printer, or mobile scanning app.
Use case
Scanned PDFs are exactly the kind of files that get bulky.
DropMachine is built for large scans, OCR packets, signed forms, and PDF bundles that include page images rather than mostly text.
Where DropMachine fits
- Reduce scanned PDFs directly on your Mac.
- Use a second PDF pass when it produces a smaller result.
- Keep recent file history with size-reduction details.
- Avoid replacing files when the reduction would not help.
Best expectations
Image-heavy PDFs usually shrink more than text-only PDFs. Files that are already optimized may shrink less, and DropMachine avoids swapping in a larger output.
Scan, reduce, send
Make bulky scan packets easier to move.
DropMachine is a focused Mac tool for a recurring PDF problem.
