Use this when a form or upload portal gives a hard maximum such as 2 MB and you need to aim at that number rather than pick a vague quality preset.
The tool progressively adjusts browser-side raster compression toward the target you enter. Presets are available for common limits, but the canonical page stays the same so there is one authoritative target-size tool.
Very small targets can require heavy image reduction. Always inspect text readability, signatures, diagrams and small print after aggressive compression.
Compress a PDF toward an exact target file size in KB or MB using progressive browser-side raster compression, with no document upload or account.
The focused PDF Tools workspace is designed for a single job at a time. It does not require an account and does not add a FileCarpenter watermark to the downloaded result.
