Why 2 MB?

2 MB is a common ceiling for richer documents: multi-page reports, contracts with signatures, and portals that accept larger files but still cap them at 2 MB. At 2 MB you keep a lot of detail: several scanned pages, embedded photos, or a long document can all stay readable. It's also a friendly size for email and messaging apps. Our tool re-renders the pages and fits the file as close to 2 MB as possible, then tells you the exact final size. Most documents compress under 2 MB. If a very large file can't, we report the smallest size we managed. All processing is local, so your PDF never leaves your browser.

How can I reduce a PDF to 2 MB online for free?

Upload your PDF and the tool shrinks it as close to 2 MB as possible, then shows you the exact final size (if a long or image-heavy file can't reach 2 MB, you get the smallest version it can make rather than a rejection). It all runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and reaching a small target converts pages to images, so the text won't stay selectable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of PDFs need a 2 MB target?

Longer reports, scanned booklets, or documents with several embedded photos. 2 MB gives them enough room to stay sharp while still being easy to upload or email.

Will the quality stay good at 2 MB?

Usually, yes. 2 MB is generous, so most documents and short scans stay sharp. Very long or photo-heavy scans may need stronger compression to fit 2 MB, which can soften detail; we always show the exact final size so you can check.

Is the text selectable afterward?

No, because fitting an exact size renders pages to images. For selectable text or OCR, use the full Compress PDF tool. Open Compress PDF
