Compress PDF to 1 MB
Shrink any PDF to under 1 MB — the limit many portals and email attachments accept. Guaranteed under the limit, text stays sharp.
Why 1 MB?
Plenty of upload forms and email systems cap attachments at 1 MB. High-resolution scans and image-heavy PDFs blow past that easily. This tool re-compresses your PDF to sit under 1 MB while keeping the text crisp.
How it works
Drop your PDF above. Folia downsamples only the images inside it — text and vector content stay sharp — and searches for the highest quality that still fits under 1 MB. Your file is processed securely and deleted immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Will the text stay sharp?+
Yes — Folia only compresses embedded images, so text and vector content remain crisp and fully readable.
Is my document stored?+
No. It is processed securely on our server and deleted immediately after compression.
What if it is already under 1 MB?+
It is returned unchanged — Folia never makes a file larger than you gave it.
