Compress PDF to 4 MB
IRCC rejects any file over 4 MB. This tool rerenders your PDF's pages at a lower quality and stops as soon as it's under a target size you choose, 4 MB by default, with 2 MB and 1 MB presets for stricter portals.
Files never leave your browser. Everything above runs locally, nothing is uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this tool.
Will this make my PDF too blurry to read?
Not if you stop at a reasonable target, the tool tries the lightest compression first and only reduces quality further if it has to.
