⚡ Try with a sample photo
Reduce a PDF to 2MB or under right in your browser — no upload, no signup, no watermark. A 2MB limit is the most common attachment and upload rule there is. Contact forms, ticketing systems, insurance claims portals, and a great many HR systems all draw the line at 2MB, and it is the size most people hit when a scanned document bounces. Drop in the file and the tool re-samples the images inside it until it meets the target, showing you the result before you download.
What 2MB realistically holds
2MB is a comfortable budget rather than a fight. A ten-page scanned document, a photo-heavy report, or a slide deck exported to PDF all compress into it with the pages still looking like the original. The usual culprit for a file that is over 2MB is a handful of full-page photographs or phone-camera scans embedded at their native resolution — resampling just those brings the whole document down.
Getting to 2MB without wrecking the document
If the file is only slightly over, compressing alone is enough. If it is 20MB or more, look at what is inside it first: a scanned document benefits most from compression, whereas a PDF that is large because of embedded fonts or a huge number of pages may be better split into parts. Building a lean PDF from the start with the image-to-PDF tool avoids the problem entirely.
Nothing leaves your device
Contracts, IDs, tax forms and medical records are exactly the documents people compress, so this runs entirely in your browser — the PDF is never uploaded, nothing is stored, and no watermark is stamped on the output.
Common ways people use it
Attachments and uploads
Get a report, contract or scanned bundle under 2MB so it attaches and uploads without bouncing.
Applications and submissions
Bring a CV, certificate or supporting document to 2MB so the form accepts it on the first attempt rather than the fifth.
Sharing over a slow link
A 2MB PDF reaches a cloud drive or a messaging app quickly, which matters when you are submitting something from a phone.
