Getting a PDF under 2 MB
2 MB is a common ceiling on upload forms, insurance claims and school portals. Photo-heavy PDFs and long scans are the usual reasons a file goes over.
We reduce the photos inside the PDF only as far as needed. The first setting keeps images at 300 dpi and high JPEG quality, and the search stops at the first setting that fits.
Tips
- Phone photos dropped into a document can be several megabytes each on their own.
- If the form accepts more than one file, splitting a long document keeps each part sharper.
- The original is deleted 5 minutes after the run finishes, so try other sizes before then.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file
A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.
- 2
Pick your limit
Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.
- 3
Download it
If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
What happens to my file?
It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.
Will it look worse?
We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.
What if my file cannot get that small?
You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.
Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?
Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
