Compress a PDF Under 10 MB

A 10 MB target cannot be guaranteed for every PDF, but image quality and rendering detail provide a practical way to reduce many scanned or photo-heavy files.

What to do

  1. Check the original file size and open Compress PDF.
  2. Choose Small file quality and Standard detail for the strongest reduction.
  3. Compare the downloaded size with 10 MB and review small text before submitting it.

Know before you start

  • Split a long PDF and compress the sections separately if your browser runs out of memory.
  • Searchability and forms become flat page images.
  • A document that is already compact may remain above 10 MB.
