Compress a PDF to a maximum file size

Pick the size limit the portal enforces; get a PDF that is verifiably under it — or an honest explanation of why not.

How it works

Your PDF is opened in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
First pass keeps text and layout and recompresses the embedded images.
If the target still isn't met, an optional stronger mode converts pages to images (clearly disclosed).
Success is only shown when the output is actually under your chosen limit.
