PDF TOOL
Get your PDF under 2 MB — for upload forms
Government portal says "max 2 MB"? Job application won't accept your file? Compress to the exact size you need — right in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored.
The 2 MB wall
You're submitting a tax return, applying for a visa, or uploading documents to a job portal. The form says "PDF, maximum 2 MB" — and your scanned document is 8 MB.
You need it smaller, but you don't want to upload sensitive documents to random compression sites. Your tax return, your passport scan, your medical records — these shouldn't leave your device.

Common 2 MB limits
Government portals
Tax returns, visa applications, permit submissions — most cap at 2 MB.
Job applications
LinkedIn, Indeed, company portals — resume and document uploads often limited.
Insurance claims
Medical records, accident reports, receipts — submit without email back-and-forth.
Email attachments
Most email providers limit attachments to 10-25 MB. Compress to send easily.
Common questions
Can I compress to a different size?
Yes. You can target any size — 1 MB, 5 MB, 10 MB, or a custom value. The tool finds the best quality that fits your limit.
Does my PDF get uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your document never leaves your device. Turn off your internet after the page loads — it still works.
Will the text still be readable?
Yes. The tool never converts pages to images. Text remains selectable and searchable. Links and bookmarks are preserved.
What if my PDF won't compress enough?
The tool tells you honestly if it can't reach your target. Text-only PDFs are already compact — there's genuinely little to compress. Scanned documents shrink dramatically; text documents don't.
