Make a PDF smaller without losing quality
Upload your PDF to the compressor, choose a compression level, and download the smaller file. Balanced suits most documents; Strong gives the smallest result for scans and photo-heavy files.

Why won't my PDF compress below 100KB?
A PDF's size floor is set by what is actually inside it. A page that is a full scanned photograph has real detail that has to be thrown away to shrink further, and there is a point past which doing that makes the page illegible - a good compressor stops there rather than forcing an arbitrary number. A PDF made of real text and vector graphics, by contrast, is already close to its floor and was never going to shrink much regardless of the target.
