Compress PDF to 2 MB
The most balanced target: big savings with high quality for most documents.
Your files never leave your device
2 MB is the typical limit on government portals, insurance sites and enrollment platforms. It's also the most forgiving target: almost any scanned or photo-heavy PDF can get under 2 MB while keeping excellent quality. The tool tries lossless optimization first and only recompresses pages when needed, always keeping the best quality that fits the target.
Frequently asked questions
Is this better than regular compression?
If you have a specific limit to meet, yes: the engine iterates for you until it fits. If you just want general savings, the main tool with its three levels is more direct.
What if my PDF is already under 2 MB?
A lossless optimization still runs; if you were already under target, the pass finishes instantly and quality stays intact.
Does it work with large scanned documents?
That's its ideal case: scans have lots of compression headroom and usually get under 2 MB with visually identical quality.
