How to compress a PDF to 2 MB
- Choose or drop your PDF.
- Check the target: 2,000 KB (2 MB) is already filled in.
- Click Compress PDF.
- Download the PDF and upload it.
Why 2 MB?
Many application portals accept files only up to 2 MB per upload. A few scanned pages or a document with photos easily passes that, so a precise target saves trial and error.
Several documents for one field?
Use PDF for job applications or Upload-ready PDF to combine PDFs and photos into one PDF under the limit.
