Compress PDF to 1MB
Shrink your PDF to fit under 1MB — for email, uploads and application forms.
Upload a PDF and MarqPDF compresses it to fit under 1MB, the limit many email and upload forms enforce. Text stays sharp; images are optimised only as much as needed.

How to compress a PDF to 1MB
1) Upload your PDF. 2) The 1MB target is pre-selected. 3) Download a file under 1MB.
Why 1MB?
1MB is a common cap for email attachments and government or job-application upload forms. Hitting a size — not a vague “quality” slider — is what actually gets your file accepted.
Keep it looking right
MarqPDF re-samples images and strips waste, but keeps text crisp, so your document is still readable at the smaller size.
