Compress PDF to 100KB or 1MB for Email and Forms

Many email providers and online application forms limit attachments to a specific size — often 1MB or even 100KB. Use our Custom quality setting to fine-tune the DPI and JPEG quality until your file meets the required size, without installing any software or losing important content.

Our tool lets you choose exactly how much compression to apply. The Medium setting offers the best balance between file size and visual quality for most documents, while High preserves maximum detail for print-ready files.
