Questions & answers
Everything you might need to know before using the tool.
Can a PDF always be compressed to 100KB?+
Text-only and lightly formatted PDFs typically compress to 100KB easily. Image-heavy or scanned PDFs may not reach 100KB through structural compression alone - for those, reducing image resolution inside the PDF is required.
Will compressing to 100KB affect my PDF's readability?+
No. Structural compression removes unused objects and metadata but does not alter text, fonts, or the visible layout. Your PDF will look identical after compression.
Which portals require PDFs under 100KB?+
Many government e-filing portals, HR document upload systems, and university application forms enforce a 100KB or similar limit on PDF attachments. Compressing before upload avoids upload errors.
