How it works

  1. STEP 1

    Upload the PDF

    Select the document that exceeds the stated upload limit.

  2. STEP 2

    Start with Recommended, then use stronger compression only when necessary.

  3. STEP 3

    Download and verify

    Check the file size and inspect every page before submitting it.

Common upload problems this solves

PDF file size exceeds the portal limit

Use a stronger level or an exact-size page such as Compress PDF to 100KB.

Certificate text or seal becomes unclear

Use a lighter level, rescan more cleanly, or split unrelated pages.

Protected PDF cannot be processed

Unlock the document with the correct password before compression.

Privacy and file handling

This tool uploads the PDF to the processing service. Uploaded and generated files are removed from processing storage after the configured one-hour retention period. Avoid highly sensitive documents when an online service is not appropriate for your risk level.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The result depends on page count, scan resolution, embedded images, and how much detail must remain readable. Use an exact-size page when you need a target such as 100KB or 200KB.
Open every page and inspect names, dates, registration numbers, marks, signatures, seals, QR codes, and document orientation. Also compare the final file size with the official requirement.
Strong compression can reduce image clarity. Preview names, dates, seals, signatures, charts, and other important details before using the output.
Start with Recommended. Use Extreme only when the file is still above the limit, and use Less when readability matters more than maximum reduction.
No. The input and output are both PDF files. Compression changes internal document data and may reduce image detail.
Not directly. If you own the file, use Unlock PDF with the correct password first and then compress the unlocked copy.
