Fitting a payslip under the limit
The tool opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), which suits most single-page slips, but switch to Target size and pick the limit your portal or form actually shows. Because a payslip is mostly text, it is already fairly small and may compress only modestly; a scanned or image-heavy slip will shrink much more. It all runs locally, so your salary figures never get sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a salary slip PDF?+
Load this page, drop in your payslip, and it uses the Balanced preset. Switch to Target size if needed and download the compressed file.
What size should a salary slip usually be?+
Forms often want a payslip under a few hundred KB, but requirements differ. Check the exact limit stated on your upload page and match the target to it.
Is my payslip kept private?+
Yes. All compression happens inside your browser, so the file is never uploaded and your income details stay on your device.
Will my payslip still be clear after compressing?+
Yes. Only embedded images are downsampled while text and vectors stay crisp. A single-page text payslip is already small, so expect a modest reduction rather than a dramatic one.
Do I need to pay or sign up?+
No. It is free with no account, no watermark, and no limits, and it works offline once loaded.
