Government portals, exam boards, embassies and job sites often refuse files above a fixed size, and the limit changes from one form to the next: 100 KB here, 300 KB there, 2 MB elsewhere. Ordinary compressors only offer "low" or "high" compression, so you end up trying again and again.
This tool works the other way around. You give the limit, and the compressor searches for the mildest settings that reach it. Images are compressed first and the text stays sharp. If the target is very small, the pages are turned into compact images as a last step, and you are told if the limit cannot be reached at all.
100 KB, 300 KB, 2 MB: type the number and the file comes out just under it.
The mildest settings that reach your limit are kept, so the text stays sharp.
No account and no watermark. Files are deleted automatically after 1 hour(s).
Created by Adobe in 1993, PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look identical on every screen and printer. It embeds fonts, images and layout in one file and supports passwords, forms and digital signatures.
Select the PDF, type the limit in KB in the "Target size" field and click "Compress PDF". The file you download is equal to or smaller than the size you typed.
Multiply by 1000: 1 MB = 1000, 2 MB = 2000, 5 MB = 5000. Counting 1000 instead of 1024 keeps the file under the limit whichever way the portal counts.
Check whether the limit applies to each file or to all files together. If it is a total, divide it by the number of documents and compress each one to that size. You can also delete blank or unneeded pages with Remove pages before compressing.
No, it only makes files smaller. Portals that set a minimum (often 10 or 20 KB) accept any normal scan, so this is rarely a problem.
