Large PDFs can be a nuisance for several reasons: They take up valuable storage space, are harder to share, and can hinder you from completing online submissions. With our compress tool, we help you reduce your PDF file sizes as much as possible without affecting the quality of your document. Here’s how you can use the tool:
How to Compress PDF to 300 KB or Less

Click “Download” to save your PDF document!
How to compress PDF to 300 KB or less
The basic compression mode will reduce the size of your PDF file substantially while maintaining the content in a near-identical version of the original file. This should be more than enough for most requirements. If your original file is particularly large, though, basic compression might not be able to bring the PDF’s size down to less than 300KB. That doesn’t mean that Smallpdf can’t solve your problem! For especially tough cases, you can always try the strong compression option. This mode can shave away up to 75% of the original file size!
And don’t worry about file size caps—our servers accept PDF files up to a whopping 5GB per document.
Stronger PDF Compression
The stronger compression mode is a premium option, but luckily, we offer 7-day free trials ffor you to try it out right away. To start a trial right from inside the compression tool, just upload your file, choose “Strong Compression, and you’ll be prompted to sign up.
If you decide to cancel your Pro account after your trial ends, remember to disable auto-renewal via the account page, and you won’t be charged. If you choose to keep your Smallpdf Pro subscription, you’ll have access to Pro perks, including:
