Stays on your device

Compress any PDF to the exact size you need.

Enter a target — 200 KB for a government portal, 4 MB for IRCC, 25 MB for Gmail — and our engine dials in on the exact size. If it can't be hit, we tell you. Runs in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.

Your files stay on your device

Processed in your browser. Nothing uploaded. Nothing stored.

Hit the size, not just "smaller"

Most compressors give you three presets — low, medium, high — and hope the result fits. That's why you end up uploading the same file five times because it's still 15% over the portal's cap.

This tool works the other way around. You enter the size you need; our precision engine tunes itself to that target and delivers a file at the exact size. If a document genuinely can't shrink that far without wrecking the text, it tells you the smallest achievable size instead of pretending.

Runs in your browser — not on a server

A small compression engine loads the first time you visit this page. After that it lives on your device. When you drop a PDF, the engine processes it right in your browser tab and hands back a smaller version. No file data travels anywhere.

You don't have to take our word for it. Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and drop a file. You'll see no upload requests containing your document.

Questions people ask first

Can I hit a specific file size?
Yes — that's the main point. Tell the tool the size you need (200 KB for a government portal, 4 MB for IRCC, 25 MB for Gmail) and our engine locks onto that exact target. If it can't be hit without making the text unreadable, the tool shows the smallest size it can reach and stops there.
What if my target is impossible?
Some PDFs can't reach a given size without destroying readability — a 50-page scanned document at 100 KB, for instance. Instead of pretending, the tool shows the smallest achievable size and suggests alternatives: grayscale mode, splitting into parts, or removing pages.
Is there a file size limit?
PDFs up to around 50 MB work comfortably. Bigger ones still work, but compression takes longer on older phones and laptops because it uses your device's CPU, not a remote server.
How is this different from Smallpdf or iLovePDF?
Exact-size targeting instead of low/medium/high presets, and no upload round-trip — your file is already on your device, so compression starts instantly. Those tools have broader features; we go deeper on size targeting and privacy-sensitive workflows.
Is it safe for passports, bank statements, and tax returns?
Yes. Files are processed in your browser via WebAssembly and never sent to a server. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory. Verify it yourself: open DevTools → Network tab and drop a PDF — you'll see no upload requests.
Is it really free?
Yes, and no signup. No trial timer, no feature locked behind a paywall. We may add modest ads one day to cover hosting, but the core tools stay free.
