Runs on your device · Your file never leaves your device.
This page opens with the limit already set to 10 MB. The usual ceiling for email attachments in corporate mail and for uploads to learning platforms. Drop your PDF and download one that fits.
Almost any PDF fits at 10 MB; this page is for scanned books, catalogues and photo portfolios. The compressor searches for the best quality that still comes in under 10 MB rather than crushing the file to the smallest size possible, so the result stays as legible as the limit allows.
Everything happens on your own device. The PDF is never uploaded, which is why the tool also works with the internet switched off, and why a passport scan or a contract can go through it without a second thought.
How to compress a PDF to 10 MB
Drop the PDF onto the box, or tap it to pick the file from your device.
The target is already 10 MB; change it only if your form allows more.
Press Compress. The pages are re-rendered while the tool searches for the best quality that fits.
Download the finished PDF, or the ZIP of parts if one file could not reach the limit.

Where it runs
In your browser; the file is never uploaded
File size
Limited by your device memory, not by a server quota
Not for: Keeping selectable text — compression rasterises pages to hit an exact size, so the result is a visual PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The compression runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processing power. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is why it also works when your connection drops.
Why is the result a little under 10 MB instead of exactly 10 MB?
The limit is a ceiling, not a goal. The tool returns the highest-quality version that stays under your number, which usually lands just below it.
My PDF cannot reach 10 MB — what now?
Delete the pages you do not need before compressing, or split the document: when a single file cannot fit the budget, the tool produces parts that each satisfy the limit. Scanned pages full of photographs need far more data than text pages.
Will the text still be selectable?
No. To hit an exact size the pages are re-rendered as images, so the result is a visual PDF. Keep the original if you need to copy text later.
