Getting a PDF under 300 KB
At 300 KB there is room for a few scanned pages at a resolution that reads comfortably on screen, or a much longer document if it was created digitally.
Digital PDFs mostly shrink in the lossless pass: we repack the file's internal structure and drop parts nothing uses, without changing how anything looks. Scans shrink by lowering image resolution a step at a time until the file fits.
Tips
- Include only the pages you need. Each extra scanned page counts against the limit.
- If you can rescan, 150 to 200 dpi is plenty for reading on screen and leaves far less to compress away than 600 dpi.
- If a file cannot reach 300 KB, you get the smallest version we could make and a note saying so.
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.
