Optimize PDF API
Rewrites the file, dropping duplicated and orphaned objects. This is structural housekeeping rather than image downsampling, so expect a smaller file without any change to how a page looks.

- Inputs
- Exactly 1 PDF
- Returns
- application/pdf
- Limits
- 20 MB per file, 3,000 pages.
- Price

§ 01 The request
One POST, and the file comes back.
POST /pdf/optimize
curl -sS --fail-with-body \
-o optimized.pdf \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OHMYWRAP_KEY" \
-F "file=@bloated.pdf" \
https://api.ohmywrap.com/pdf/optimizeOptions
None. Send the file and nothing else. An options object is still accepted, but any key inside it is 422 invalid_options.
Worth knowing
It does not re-encode images or downsample them. If a file is large because of its pictures, optimize will not be the answer.
Your first /pdf/optimize call takes one line of curl.
Ten thousand calls cost ten dollars, the pack never expires, and nothing you send is kept.
10,000 calls for $10. No subscription, no expiry.
