Compress PDF to 10MB

1. Upload your PDF (up to 50 MB).
2. The compressor automatically targets 10 MB or under.
3. Download the compressed PDF.

10 MB is the largest common target — nearly all PDFs fit with almost no compression. Quality stays essentially identical to the original.

10 MB is the cap on the most generous email and upload systems (Gmail attachments, large document portals). Nearly all PDFs fit easily at 10 MB with essentially no quality loss.

The compressor analyzes the PDF and iterates image quality until the output is 10 MB or under. Text is preserved losslessly; images retain near-original quality.

• Gmail attachment (25 MB effective limit).
• Portal document upload (10 MB cap).
• Reducing large PDFs with near-original quality.
• Preparing high-resolution documents for distribution.
• Meeting generous upload limits.
• Preparing image-heavy PDFs for email.
• Reducing print-preview PDFs slightly.

10 MB is the largest target — nearly no visible compression. Quality stays essentially identical to the original.

• Very large PDFs (40+ MB) may need manual splitting.
• Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked first.
• Very small PDFs (under 10 MB) may already be under target.
• For print quality, use the general PDF compressor.
• For tighter compression, use lower target variants.

• Output PDF opens in every browser, reader, and OS.
• Text stays searchable.
• Accepted by Gmail (25 MB limit) and large portals.
• Standard PDF — no special software needed.
• Ideal for large email attachments.

• 10 MB is the largest common target — nearly no visible compression.
• For web use, 500 KB-1 MB is usually sufficient.
• Text stays sharp regardless.
• For very large PDFs, split them first.
• Batch-compress up to 50 MB at once.

Very large PDF can't reach 10 MB

Split the PDF into smaller files first, then compress each.

File is already under 10 MB

If already under 10 MB, no compression is applied.

PDF is still large for web

Use the 1 MB or 2 MB variant for tighter compression.
