Compress PDF to 500 KB
At 500 KB there is room for good quality, which suits resumes, project reports and multi-page scans. The tool uses the gentlest compression that reaches the limit, so text often stays selectable. Nothing leaves your device.

Will my resume stay searchable for recruiters?
If lossless compression reaches 500 KB, yes: text, links and fonts stay intact. The result message tells you whether pages had to be converted to images.
What kind of PDFs are hard to get under 500 KB?
Long scanned documents and PDFs full of high-resolution photos. Removing unneeded pages helps more than anything else.
Is there a daily limit?
No. Compress as many files as you like, free, without an account.
Are hyperlinks kept?
With lossless compression, yes. When pages become images, links stop being clickable.
