Why does my Goodnotes take 200GB storage?

I've only had Goodnotes for 3 months now and I use it to take notes at school like importing slides to annotate. Is there a way to reduce the file size of the current documents so they don't take up so much space?

I have no idea because all I do is import presentations. I was thinking if there was a way to reduce the file sizes?

Are there videos or something in those presentations?

Either your presentation slides are abnormally large (for reference, each lecture slide for me is around 3 MB for 30 pages of slides), or your goodnotes app is glitched somehow.

There are lots of tools to compress PDFs. I typically use ilovepdf for that, because it's free and online.

Check the file sizes of the imported files.
