Who Uses This

WhatsApp Document Sharing

WhatsApp compresses documents before sending, but staying under 300KB ensures fast delivery and avoids any upload errors on slow connections.

Gmail Attachments

While Gmail supports up to 25MB, recipient mail servers or corporate filters often block larger files. Keep PDFs under 300KB for reliable delivery.

Visa and Immigration Forms

Embassy portals and visa application websites typically cap document uploads at 300KB per file. Compress passports, bank statements, and itineraries to fit.

HR Document Portals

HRMS and payroll platforms often restrict uploaded documents like offer letters, salary slips, and tax forms to 300KB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 300KB such a common limit?+

300KB is a balance between reasonable file quality and storage efficiency. Government IT systems and enterprise portals set this limit to control database sizes and improve upload speed on slow networks.

What if my PDF has lots of images?+

High-resolution images are the biggest contributor to PDF size. Our tool resamples them to a web-optimized resolution, which is usually sufficient for form submissions and sharing.

Can I use this on my phone?+

Yes, it works perfectly on mobile browsers. Open compressly.live in Chrome or Safari on your phone, upload your PDF, and download the compressed version.

Is the tool completely free?+

Yes. No payment, no account, and no file count limit. Use it as many times as you need.

How accurate is the size target?+

Our engine achieves close to the target for most text-based PDFs. For image-heavy files, actual output may vary but will always be significantly smaller than the original.
