Frequently asked questions
Will this get my PDF under 300 KB?
Yes — the 300 KB target is preset and the tool compresses to the highest quality that stays under it, so the document stays readable for the reviewer.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is rebuilt by your own browser and never sent to a server — safe for statements and IDs.
Will the text still be selectable?
For strong compression, pages become images, so text is not selectable. Keep your original if you need to edit it.
When you need 300 KB
The 300 KB limit shows up on portals sitting between the common 200 KB and 500 KB caps, and short scanned documents. Drop your PDF above and it will be compressed to fit.
What to expect
300 KB comfortably fits a few text pages or a single scan while keeping everything clearly readable.
Different limit? The PDF compressor hub covers every size.
How compressing a PDF to 300 KB works
Drop your PDF above — the 300 KB target is preset — and the tool re-renders each page at the highest resolution that keeps the whole document under 300 KB, then rebuilds it. Strong compression converts pages to high-quality images, so the file gets small enough to upload while staying clearly readable for whoever reviews it. Everything runs on your own device, so even a bank statement or ID document never leaves your browser.
Keep your original
Because heavy compression turns text into images, the text in the compressed file is no longer selectable. That is fine for an upload, but keep your original PDF if you will need to edit or search it later.
