Stop wasting time on PDF compression — one-click to your target size

Let's be honest: PDF compression shouldn't be a 15-minute task.

You export your document, drag it into a compressor, pick a "high/medium/low" preset, download, check the size… and it's still over the limit. Repeat. Adjust settings. Repeat again.

I built TinyPDF because this workflow was killing my productivity as a designer.

How it works (in 3 clicks)

1. Drop your PDF
2. Type your target size in MB (2MB, 5MB, 10MB — whatever you need)
3. Hit "Compress"

That's it. No guessing presets, no back-and-forth.

The tool automatically figures out how much to reduce image quality while preserving page count, page size, and layout. It keeps quality as high as possible while hitting your exact target.

Why this saves time

• No trial and error: Set the size once, get it right first time
• No account needed: Just open the page and compress
• No ads, no watermarks: Clean, fast, distraction-free
• Files stay local: Processing happens in your browser — no uploads to a server

Current limits (keeping it focused)

• Desktop web only (mobile coming later)
• One file at a time, up to 100MB
• No batch mode yet
