Pick 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, or type another limit. The page becomes a picture only as far as it must, and an unreadable result is refused.

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.

Questions
Is 200 KB the only size?
No. 200 KB is the starting chip because many forms use it. Change the number.
Will the PDF still have selectable text?
No. Compression here redraws pages as pictures. Use Merge PDF if you only needed to join files.
What if it cannot hit the limit?
You see an error. A blurry file is not offered as a success.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No.
About this tool
Compress a PDF to a size you choose
Pick 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, or type another limit. The page becomes a picture only as far as it must, and an unreadable result is refused.
Choose the limit first
A form that says “under 200 KB” is not the same job as a 1 MB email cap. The chips are starting points. Type the number from the notice if it is different.
Why some files will not shrink
Pages are redrawn as images. Text stops being selectable. If the next step down would make the page muddy, you get an error instead of a file you cannot read.
Greyscale
Turn greyscale on for a form that does not need colour. It is often the difference between hitting the limit and missing it.
