Compress a PDF for government and portal uploads
Portals worldwide cap file size — often 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, or 2 MB. Everyday Tools compresses on your device. No cloud upload, no account, no paywall.
When portals reject your file
Visa applications, tax filings, university admissions, job portals, and ID uploads all enforce strict size limits. Scanned documents blow past them fast. Most compressors ask you to upload sensitive files to their servers — Everyday Tools never does.
Hit a target size without uploading
Open the compress tool, drop your PDF, and pick a target (200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB) or a quality preset. Download and submit to the portal. Everything runs locally in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge on desktop and mobile.
Works anywhere you browse
Same tool whether you are filing in India, the US, Europe, or anywhere else. Pick ₹, $, or € in the header for our other tools — compress itself is currency-free and free forever.
Frequently asked questions
Is my document uploaded to your servers?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF stays on your device.
Can I hit exactly 200 KB or 2 MB?
Choose a target-size preset. Very heavy scans may need a second pass at lower quality.
Do I need an account or payment?
No sign-up, no money, no watermark on download.
