Upload forms often refuse PDFs above 1 MB, especially for visa, bank and administrative uploads. This tool makes your PDF fit: it first applies strong compression, which keeps your text selectable. If that is not enough, it turns the pages into lighter images at the best quality that still fits under 1 MB.
How do I compress a PDF to 1 MB?
+
Choose your PDF, keep 1 MB as the maximum size and click Compress PDF. The new size is shown before you download.
Will the text stay selectable?
+
Yes when strong compression is enough. When the limit is very small, pages are saved as images to fit: the PDF still looks the same, but its text can no longer be selected.
Can I choose another size?
+
Yes. Type any size in the Maximum size in KB field, for example 300 KB or 2000 KB.
Is my PDF uploaded?
+
No. Compression happens in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
