Compress PDF to 2MB online
Two megabytes fits longer documents and clearer JPEG settings than sub-megabyte limits — ideal when a site allows a bit more room.
For any other KB/MB cap, use the main PDF target size tool.

About this size target
Use 2 MB when a portal rejects a 5–10 MB export but you still need readable figures and photos.
Compression remains private: your bytes are not uploaded for processing.
How to use
- Upload the PDF you need under 2 MB.
- Verify the MB field shows 2.
- Run the compressor and review the output size label.
- Download the file and upload it to your destination site.
FAQ
- How do I compress PDF to 10MB?
- Use the 10 MB preset page in Related PDF sizes, or type 10 in the MB field.
- Why can't some PDFs reach the target size?
- Extremely high-resolution scans or hundreds of pages can exceed what JPEG packing allows at 2 MB; try splitting the document.
- Is my PDF stored?
- No server-side storage — everything happens in your tab.
- How does PDF compression work?
- The tool rebuilds the PDF from compressed page images so the byte size tracks your target more predictably than tweaking a single global slider.
- Will text stay selectable?
- Usually not after heavy raster compression. Keep an original PDF if you need copy-paste friendly text.
