Browser Workflow

Compress PDF toward 500KB

Files stay in your browser during processing. That makes the flow faster for students, office users and mobile visitors who want a direct tool on the same page.

Choose one PDF to optimize toward 500KB.

Best for text-based PDFs and simple documents. Scanned PDFs with large photos may need image compression before a strict KB target is possible.

Mid-weight PDFs

~500KB when 200KB crushed the stamps but 2MB is overkill

Resume PDFs, two-page invoice scans, and job application packets often fit this band. If text went soft at 200KB, try here before jumping to 2MB — saves upload time when the portal allows half a megabyte.
