Compress PDF to the exact size you need
Most compressors shrink a file and hope for the best. This one starts from the size you actually need. Type the exact target - 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, or any custom figure an upload portal asks for - and the tool first tries a lossless save, then reduces page clarity step by step only as far as needed, keeping the clearest version that fits your cap. You always see the original size, the final size, and whether the target was reached.
How to do it
- Add your PDF file.
- Type your target size, or tap a preset like 200 KB.
- Click Compress PDF and download the smaller file.
Common questions
Can every PDF reach 200 KB?
Not always. Text-heavy PDFs usually can. Photo-heavy PDFs may not reach a very small cap without becoming unreadable, and the tool tells you honestly if the target could not be met.
Will my text stay selectable?
Yes when the lossless save is enough. If the target needs the stepped shrink, pages become pictures at the clearest setting that fits, and the result panel explains what happened.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Compression runs fully in your browser.
