Compress PDF tool · Honest size goals

Bring PDFs toward ~2 MB uploads

Two megabytes is tight for multi-page color scans but often achievable for short text PDFs. If you are barely over, one Email preset pass may be enough. If you are far over, split chapters or re-scan at moderate DPI instead of repeating extreme compression.

No guaranteed target size. Compress PDF uses browser presets (Balanced, Email, Maximum)—not an iterative loop to hit 2 MB exactly. Check the downloaded file size and readability after each pass.

FAQ

Is iterative “compress until 2 MB” automated?

Not today. Pick a preset, download, check size, and adjust manually if needed.

Can I combine with merge for visa packs?

Yes—merge ordered documents, then compress once and proof every ID page.
