Upload a PDF and pick a target size preset. The file is compressed on a secure worker and compared against your KB goal so you can hit email or upload limits.

Secure Server-Side

Processes on our cloud and is permanently deleted within one hour.

How to use this tool

1. Upload a PDF within the size limit. 2. Choose a target preset (100 KB, 200 KB, or 500 KB). 3. Click Compress toward target. 4. Review actual file size vs your goal in the results. 5. Re-run with a different preset or remove heavy pages if you still exceed the cap.

Worked example

Example: a 1.8 MB scanned resume compressed toward 200 KB may land near 180–220 KB—good enough for many job portals with a 250 KB cap.

When to use this

  • Job portal rejects resume over 250 KB.
  • Email gateway blocks attachments above 500 KB.
  • LMS requires submissions under 100 KB.
  • You need a hard ceiling, not just smaller file.

Common examples

  • 2.1 MB job-application PDF → 200 KB preset for a 250 KB portal cap.
  • Scanned syllabus at 4 MB → 500 KB preset before LMS upload.
  • One-page invoice PDF → 100 KB preset for legacy email gateways.
  • Portfolio PDF with photos → 500 KB then manual review of text sharpness.
  • Government form scan → 200 KB with readable 10 pt body text.

How it works

Upload a PDF, pick a target size (100 KB, 200 KB, or 500 KB), and compress via the same secure server pipeline as our standard PDF compressor. The result shows actual file size versus your target and notes when the target cannot be reached.

Limitations

Compressed files are stored temporarily and deleted automatically. Results depend on PDF content; scanned pages may not reach aggressive targets.
