How it works
Add your PDF
Drop one PDF into the box. It is read locally — nothing is uploaded.
Pick a target size
Tap 200KB for most upload portals, 1MB for email, or type any exact size in KB.
Download
Hit Compress PDF. Only the photos inside are recompressed — your text stays selectable and searchable.
Tips
- 200KB fits most portals. Government forms, job applications and university uploads usually cap at 200–500KB.
- Text stays text. Unlike screenshotting pages, this compression never turns your words into pictures.
- Already small? If your PDF is already under the target, EzySize just tidies it up instead of degrading it.
- Honest limits. If a target is unreachable without ruining the photos, you will get the smallest honest size — not a ruined file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to 200KB?
Add your PDF, tap the 200KB chip (or type any size), and hit Compress PDF. EzySize recompresses the photos inside until the file lands at or under your target, then hands you the download.
Will the text stay selectable after compression?
Yes. Only the images inside the PDF are recompressed — text, vector graphics and layout are never turned into pictures, so every word stays selectable and searchable.
Why is my compressed PDF still bigger than the target?
If a PDF is mostly scanned pages saved at very high resolution, there is a floor to how small photos can go before they turn to mush. EzySize tells you the smallest size it could honestly reach instead of silently degrading your document.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser — your document never leaves your device, which also means the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
Does compressing reduce the quality a lot?
Photos are re-encoded at the highest quality that still hits your target size, so on-screen reading stays crisp. Very aggressive targets (like 100KB for a photo-heavy file) will visibly soften images — that is the unavoidable trade of a tiny file.
Can I compress a password-protected PDF?
Not directly — protected PDFs must be unlocked first. Unlock it, then compress the unlocked file.
