How it works (3 steps)
Upload a PDF and enter the target size
For example 1MB or 500KB. File-size limits are checked before anything starts.
Automatic compression
Images are re-encoded page by page with a binary search on quality until the output fits the target.
Download the result
Before/after sizes are shown. If the target is unreachable we say the minimum achievable size instead of silently failing.

FAQ
Can you always hit the target size?
Most image-heavy PDFs, yes. If the target is too small we clearly report the minimum achievable size rather than outputting an oversized file.
Will the text stay sharp?
Compression re-samples images; embedded text stays vector and stays sharp. Preview the output before submitting it anywhere important.
Is my file uploaded?
No — compression runs entirely in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
