PDF too large for a job portal? Aim for 100 KB

Before you begin

Keep the original document somewhere safe. PDF Studio processes document files in your browser and does not add a watermark. Browser storage is not a backup: download important results before closing the tab. For a large file, start on a device with enough memory and use a small sample to confirm the settings.

Follow these steps

1. Open Compress PDF to 100 KB and choose your PDF. The target is a best-effort limit, not a guarantee.
2. Start with Light to keep selectable text and links. Try JPEG optimization for a document with photographs.
3. Use an image preset only if you accept losing searchable text, links and editable form fields. Compare the result before downloading.

Check the result

Check the target status and actual byte size. Reopen the result and zoom into names, dates and small print.

Use the result preview to catch visible problems, then reopen the downloaded file in the reader or application where you plan to use it. A completed processing action only means an output was produced; it does not prove that the document meets every requirement of a job portal, recipient or printer.

Know the limitations

Some PDFs cannot reach 100 KB without an unacceptable loss of detail. An already-small PDF may have no further savings.

Privacy and saved files

Choosing a file does not upload its contents for processing. Saved drafts, signatures, recipes and My files belong to this browser profile on this device. Delete local copies when using a shared computer. Optional site analytics count usage without including document contents or filenames. Some fonts, libraries and OCR models need an internet connection; installing the app does not guarantee offline operation.
