Many portals and forms only accept a PDF up to a certain size, like 1 or 2 MB. Enter that number, upload your file, and the converter does the rest. It tries settings from light to strong and stops at the first one that gets your PDF under the size you typed.

You keep a PDF. The file stays in the same format, so you can open it, send it or upload it just as before. Because the converter starts with the lightest setting, your document is only squeezed as much as it needs to be.

Sometimes a file is too big to reach your target, even at the strongest setting. In that case you get the smallest file the converter could make, and you are told that it didn't reach the size you asked for. You can then try a higher limit.

Your file is sent to our servers over an encrypted connection. It can be up to 100 MB. It is deleted automatically one hour after the conversion, and nobody looks at it. You can also add several files at once.
