How the 2 MB target works
The compressor tries up to seven quality levels in your browser, from 150 DPI (print quality) down to 30 DPI (maximum compression). It stops at the first level that produces a file under 2 MB, so you always get the best possible quality that fits the limit — no guesswork, no repeated manual attempts.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to under 2 MB?+
Drop your PDF into the tool above. It automatically compresses the file at several quality levels — from 150 DPI down to 30 DPI — and keeps the highest quality version that is smaller than 2 MB. Nothing is uploaded; everything happens in your browser.
What if my PDF can't be compressed to 2 MB?+
Very long or image-heavy documents sometimes can't reach 2 MB without becoming unreadable. In that case the tool keeps the smallest version it could produce and tells you the target wasn't reached. Splitting the document into parts is usually the best next step.
Will my file be uploaded to a server?+
No. This compressor runs entirely inside your browser. Your PDF never leaves your device, which makes it safe for sensitive documents like IDs, contracts and certificates.
Is there a limit on file size or number of files?+
No limits and no sign-up. You can compress as many PDFs to 2 MB as you need, free of charge, with no watermarks.
Why do upload forms have size limits like 2 MB?+
Portals cap upload sizes to keep storage and bandwidth costs down. Scanned PDFs are usually far larger than necessary because they embed high-resolution images — downsampling those images shrinks the file dramatically without affecting the text.
