Reduce a large PDF to 1 MB, 2 MB, 5 MB or 10 MB. Scanned books, project reports, bank statements and photo-heavy brochures easily reach 20–100 MB – too big for email, WhatsApp, court and tax portals or tender sites. This page is set to 1 MB; change the target and the PDF is resized to fit, with the best quality that size allows.

How to Reduce a PDF to a Size in MB

Choose your PDF.
Set the target: 1 MB is preset; tap 2 MB or 5 MB, or type any size.

Click Compress PDF and download.

MB Limits in Everyday Use

Email: Gmail and Outlook attachments are limited to about 20–25 MB in total.

Government and court portals: often 2 MB, 5 MB or 10 MB per file.

MB to KB

1 MB is 1024 KB. If a form gives its limit in KB – 500 KB, for example – use Compress PDF to 500KB or Resize PDF in KB.

Keep Text Selectable

For a text-heavy report or ebook where you only need a moderate reduction, the PDF Compressor shrinks the pictures and leaves the text searchable and copyable.
