Upload forms often refuse PDFs above 500 KB, especially for email attachments and online forms. 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 500 KB.
How do I compress a PDF to 500 KB?
+
Choose your PDF, keep 500 KB 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.
