Compress PDF to 500 KB
A 500 KB ceiling is more forgiving than 100 KB. The PDF is still rewritten as images, locally.
- No upload
- No watermark

Pages become pictures, so text will not stay selectable. If the limit would make the page unreadable, you get an error instead of a bad file.
Your files never leave this device. There is no account and no watermark on the download.
Use 500 KB when the portal allows it
Many forms that say “under 1 MB” are fine at 500 KB, and the pages stay clearer. The chip is preset. You can type another number.
Check the preview
The first page is shown before you rely on the download. Zoom in on small print, especially on a phone screen.
FAQ
Will the PDF stay searchable?
No. Pages are pictures after compression. If you need selectable text, do not use this tool on that file.
What is the page limit?
20 pages and 30 MB. Both limits are written on the tool before you start.
Can I switch to 200 KB?
Yes. Open Compress PDF to 200 KB or change the number. The same engine runs.
