Get any PDF under 5 MB while keeping it clearly readable — no upload.
Up to ~60 pages works best
🔒 100% private — files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
Yes — the 5 MB target is preset and the tool compresses to the highest quality that stays under it, so the document stays readable for the reviewer.
No. The PDF is rebuilt by your own browser and never sent to a server — safe for statements and IDs.
For strong compression, pages become images, so text is not selectable. Keep your original if you need to edit it.
The 5 MB limit shows up on long or image-heavy documents and email systems with a generous 5 MB limit. Drop your PDF above and it will be compressed to fit.
5 MB is very roomy — long, scan-heavy PDFs compress with no visible loss. Only compress this far if the limit actually requires it.
Different limit? The PDF compressor hub covers every size.
The tool re-renders each page at the highest resolution that keeps the whole document under 5 MB, then rebuilds it. Strong compression converts pages to high-quality images, so the file gets small enough to upload while staying clearly readable for whoever reviews it. Everything runs on your own device, so even a bank statement or ID document never leaves your browser.
Because heavy compression turns text into images, the text in the compressed file is no longer selectable. That is fine for an upload, but keep your original PDF if you will need to edit or search it later.
Every limit below uses the same tool with a different target, so you can go straight to the one your form or inbox actually asks for. If you only need a smaller file size in general and no exact number, pick the next limit up from where you are now and keep more quality.
Not sure which limit you need, or want to type an exact number of your own? The PDF compressor takes any target you give it.
