Drop a PDF, get it under 100 KB. Property portals, government forms, and many job applications demand small PDF uploads — our binary-search compressor figures out the right strength automatically. No upload, no signup, no waiting.
Frequently asked
Real questions, written for someone applying right now.
How can a PDF possibly be under 100 KB?
Most "PDFs" are actually scanned images embedded in a PDF wrapper — they can be aggressively recompressed without changing the visual content much. Pure-text PDFs are usually already small. Our tool tries structural compression first; if that's not enough, it rasterizes pages and rebuilds the PDF with compressed JPEGs.
Will the text still be selectable?
For mild compression (target close to original), yes. For very aggressive targets (under 100 KB on a multi-page document), our rasterize strategy converts pages to images — text becomes raster, not selectable. If you need selectable text, choose a larger target.
My PDF is 2 MB. Can it really hit 100 KB?
Often yes — depending on content. A 2 MB PDF that's mostly scanned images can usually compress to 100 KB with mild quality loss. A 2 MB PDF of dense text + diagrams may have a floor closer to 200–300 KB before quality becomes unusable. The tool will tell you the smallest size achievable.
Is this safe for documents like Aadhaar or PAN?
Yes. The compression engine runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. No file content is ever transmitted — visit /privacy/verify to confirm with your own eyes via DevTools Network tab.
Need a different size?
Use our generic tools — they accept any KB target and any dimension you need.
