Compress PDF to Under 1MB — Free
Try the compression settings, compare the resulting size, and check that the output still meets your needs. Exact file-size targeting is not available.
This page uses the same PDF compressor as the main tool. It renders each page to an image before rebuilding the PDF; smaller output is not guaranteed, and text may no longer be selectable or searchable. Check the file-size and format rules of the site you are uploading to, and inspect the exported file before submitting it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set a 1 MB target?
No. The compressor does not accept a target size or guarantee a particular output size. Adjust settings and compare results.
Will text stay searchable?
The compressor rebuilds the pages as images, so text may no longer be selectable or searchable after compression.
Can I compress a PDF that is already small?
Results vary by file. The tool does not guarantee a smaller output; compare the output size and quality with the original.
