Fit your PDF under any upload limit.

Stuck on a job application portal that rejects your resume? Visa form won't accept your document because it's too large? University upload system keeps timing out? FitMyPDF is built exactly for these frustrating moments.

Unlike generic PDF compressors that blindly shrink files without telling you if the result is still usable, FitMyPDF targets an exact file size limit you choose — whether that's 100KB, 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, or any custom target. Before you download, you see a readability score, an upload-readiness score, and a live preview of the first page.

Compress PDFs to 200KB or under 500KB is the most common request. Job portals like Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse often cap file uploads at 500KB or less. University application systems through Common App or individual university portals may require files under 1MB. Visa and immigration portals (like TLScontact or VFS Global) frequently enforce strict 500KB limits on supporting documents.

Compress scanned PDFs without losing readability. Scanned documents are essentially images, so they compress differently from text-based PDFs. FitMyPDF detects whether your PDF is text-based, scanned, or mixed — and recommends the best compression mode accordingly. The Grayscale Scan mode is particularly effective for black-and-white scanned forms.

Privacy-first processing. Your PDF never leaves your browser in the default mode. There is no server upload, no cloud storage, and no file retention. Everything is processed client-side using modern browser APIs. This makes FitMyPDF suitable for sensitive documents like bank statements, tax returns, passport copies, and medical records.

Upload-readiness scoring. Our unique scoring system checks whether your compressed PDF will actually pass upload requirements. It considers the target size, readability quality, document type, and use case to give you a clear Upload-Ready score from 0 to 100. If the score is low, you'll know before you waste time trying to upload.

Why can't my PDF reach 100KB? If you have a multi-page document with images, reaching 100KB may require aggressive compression that makes text unreadable. FitMyPDF will warn you if your target is unrealistic and suggest a more reasonable size. For most practical purposes, 200KB–500KB is the sweet spot for readable documents under typical upload limits.

Whether you need to make a PDF smaller for a job application, compress a scanned document for a visa upload, or reduce your resume size for an email attachment — FitMyPDF gives you the control and confidence to get it right the first time.
