Compress PDF to a Target Size

Squeeze a PDF down to meet a strict upload limit — the kind government portals and job applications impose — while keeping it readable.

ℹ️ Note: tryPDF! applies progressively stronger compression passes and stops at the first one that meets your target. Image-heavy or scanned PDFs may not reach it — in that case you get the smallest version tryPDF! could produce.
