Get a PDF under 1 MB

A 1 MB PDF attaches to any email, uploads to almost any portal and sends quickly over a phone connection. pdfconva aims for the target with as little loss as possible — most reports, slide exports and scanned letters get there by re-compressing images alone, so the text stays crisp and searchable.

  • Your files stay on your device

    Compress PDF to 1 MB runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded — not the file, not even its name.

  • Free, with no sign-up

    No account, no watermark on your files and no daily limit for normal use.

  • Up to 20 files at once

    Each file can be up to 100 MB. Large or scanned files simply take a little longer.

  • Works on every device

    Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, in any modern browser. Nothing to install.
