Compress a PDF to an exact size

Does the portal reject anything over 200 KB? Pick a limit and the tool finds the best quality that fits.

The pin is currently showing the original file's size.

Compressing turns every page into an image, so the PDF's text can no longer be selected or searched. That's fine for a form upload.

Your file never leaves this phone or computer. Everything happens right in this browser.

How it works

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Pick a limit, like 200 KB, or type your own.
  3. Press Compress, then download the PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I select text after compressing?

This tool turns every page into an image, which is how it gets the size down this far — so the text can no longer be selected or searched. That's fine for a form upload, but keep the original if you need selectable text.

The file didn't fit the limit — now what?

Choose a larger size, or scan at a lower resolution. A great many pages, or a very detailed scan, can be hard to shrink that far.

How many pages does it handle?

Up to 40 pages at a time, so your phone doesn't run out of memory. For more, split the file first.

Does it open password-protected PDFs?

No. Remove the password first, then compress.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is processed entirely in your browser. This site has no upload server, and its security headers stop the browser from connecting anywhere else.
