Need a PDF under 500 KB for an application form, email or portal? The target is already set to 500 KB – add your PDF and press Compress PDF. The tool tries different quality levels and keeps the best one that fits.
The tool works entirely inside your web browser. Your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to a server, so they stay private. Closing the tab removes everything.
Add your PDF – the target size is already set to 500 KB.
Optional: tick grayscale for scans, or change the KB value.
Press Compress PDF.
Check the before/after preview and the final size, then download.
Add the PDF on this page and press Compress PDF – the 500 KB limit is pre-filled. The result is shown with its exact size before you download.
Very long or detailed PDFs may not fit. You will get the smallest possible version and a message; try grayscale, or split the PDF into parts.
The pages are re-encoded as optimised images, so text stays readable but is no longer selectable. For most forms that is fine.
Then your original file is returned unchanged.
Nothing is uploaded: the file is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
