Step by step

How to use it

  1. Drop one or more PDFs into the box, or choose them from your device.
  2. Choose the compression level: Low keeps almost all the detail, Recommended balances size and quality, and Extreme shrinks as much as it can. If you need a specific size, turn on “Fit to a size” and type the MB.
  3. Select “Compress PDF.” You will see how much each file weighed and how much it weighs now, with a before and after preview.
  4. Download the result. If you compressed several files, you can download them all together in a ZIP.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which documents is 2 MB good for?

Reports, contracts, and presentations that combine text and images. It is a size that most email services and portals accept without any trouble.

Is image quality lost?

A little, but in most cases it is not noticeable at screen size. You can choose the maximum resolution in the advanced options if you need more detail.

What if my PDF already weighs less than 2 MB?

Then there is no need to compress it: the tool will tell you and will not give you a worse version. If you still want to shrink it, use a smaller target.

2 MB: the most balanced target

Two megabytes leave room for documents with text and images without forcing the compression. It is a common target when an email provider or a portal sets a comfortable limit but rejects very heavy files.

How to make the most of it

Drop one or more PDFs and the tool fits them to the target, showing the savings for each file. If the result works for you, download it; if not, change the level or the limit. For large photos or scans you may want a smaller cap, such as 1 MB. More options in the compress PDF tool.
