Get a PDF under 100 KB

Application portals for exams, jobs, visas and scholarships often refuse any PDF over 100 KB. Drop your file in and pdfconva looks for the best quality that still fits: first by squeezing the images, then, only if it has to, by turning pages into lighter images. You see the new size before you download, and the file never leaves your device.
