Make your PDF fit any upload limit

Tell us where you're uploading. We shrink or split your PDF so the site accepts it the first time.

How it works

  1. Pick the limit

    Choose what you're uploading to, or type the exact limit the site shows.

  2. Drop your PDF

    We try lossless optimization first, so text stays sharp and selectable.

  3. Download a file that fits

    We aim just under the limit. If it can't fit, we split it into numbered parts.

Private by design

Most PDF websites

  1. Upload your file to their server
  2. Process it there
  3. Promise to delete it later

UploadReady

  1. Loads the tool in your browser
  2. Processes the file on your device
  3. Your file is never sent anywhere

That makes it safe for resumes, tax documents, IDs and legal papers.

Questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. UploadReady processes your PDF inside your browser. The file never leaves your device.

How do I compress a PDF to under 2 MB?

Choose Job application, or type 2 in the limit box, then drop your PDF. We find the best quality that fits and give you a file just under the limit.

Will my resume still be readable by job sites?

If we can reach the limit without converting pages to images, the text stays selectable. If not, we tell you, so you can try a slightly higher limit.

What if my PDF is still too big?

Switch to Split into parts. You get numbered files, each under the limit, ready to upload in order.

Why is my scanned PDF so large?

Scanners save every page as a high-resolution image. Compressing those images is exactly what this tool does best.

Is it really free?

Yes. Compressing and splitting are free, with no sign-up and no daily limit.
