How to use this tool

  1. Drop a PDF into the panel or browse for one (max 50 MB, up to 1000 pages).

  2. Maximum compression is already selected for this 100 KB ceiling. Change the level if you need a different balance of size and clarity.

  3. Click Compress PDF. The file is sent for this request only and is not stored.

  4. Read the optimization report. It shows the original size, the new size, and whether the file is under 100 KB.

  5. A slightly larger cap is Compress PDF to 200 KB. Job forms often use Compress PDF to 500 KB or Compress PDF to 1 MB.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about file privacy, processing modes, formats, and device support.

No. 100 KB is a target ceiling for visa and passport portals that cap a supporting PDF around 100 KB. The compressor recompresses images and optimizes streams, then reports the measured size. Text-only or already-small PDFs may stay above or below that number. Download the result either way.
Maximum compression uses the strongest practical image downscaling and JPEG settings while keeping vector text and page layout. That is the right starting point for a tight 100 KB upload cap. You can switch to Balanced or Best quality before you start.
Some visa and passport portals reject a supporting PDF above a small cap. 100 KB is a commonly requested ceiling, not a rule from every embassy. Check the form you are submitting before you rely on it.
Try the file only if you are allowed to remove extra pages or heavy photos first. Split or delete pages, then compress again. A scan of a full booklet often cannot reach 100 KB without looking poor.
No. The upload is written to a short-lived temporary file for this request, processed, then discarded. Nothing is kept in durable storage.
