PDF≤ 500 KB

Compress PDF to 500 KB — for tight upload limits

Many government and visa portals enforce a strict 500 KB cap on PDF uploads. Krymp helps you hit it: lower quality presets aggressively re-encode embedded images while keeping text crisp. Drop the PDF, pick Low quality, check the new size, and adjust until you're under 500 KB. All local, no account.

Vanliga frågor

Why can't I always hit 500 KB?

Text-heavy or vector PDFs are already compact and may not drop further. Scanned PDFs compress most easily.

Tip for scanned PDFs?

Try Low quality first — scans often go from 5 MB down to 200–400 KB at acceptable readability.

Account?

Not required.

Privacy?

Local only.

Mobile?

Yes.
