Compress PDF to 500 KB
Shrink any PDF to under 500 KB — a common cap for portals between the 200 KB and 1 MB limits. Guaranteed under the limit, text stays sharp.
Why 500 KB?
Some upload forms sit between the very tight 200 KB caps and the looser 1 MB ones — 500 KB is a common middle-ground limit. This tool re-compresses your PDF to sit under it 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 500 KB. 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 500 KB?+
It is returned unchanged — Folia never makes a file larger than you gave it.
