How to compress pdf
- Pick the size your form allows (you can change it later).
- Drop your PDF in, or click to browse and select it.
- The tool shrinks it until the finished file fits — tap another size to re-run.
- Download the compressed PDF, ready to upload.

Supported formats
This tool accepts PDF as input and gives you a PDF at the size you pick as output. Everything happens on your device in seconds — your file is never uploaded, so there is nothing for anyone to keep.
Why PDF upload limits are so strict
Government, exam and banking portals cap uploads to keep millions of applications manageable, and most of them check the size in decimal kilobytes before they look at anything else. A 205KB file is rejected by a 200KB limit even though it looks fine — so this tool measures the finished file and only stops once it is genuinely under.
Phone scans are the usual culprit. A single page photographed at 12 megapixels can be several megabytes inside a PDF, which is why a scan that looks simple often comes out far over the limit.
