Make a PDF Smaller for an Application Upload
Application portals reject files by size, not by quality setting. Type the exact limit the form gives you and the tool compresses until the file fits.

Questions
The portal still rejects my file. Why?+
Some portals also block encrypted or scanned-at-600dpi PDFs. Remove the password and re-target a smaller size.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every PDFOnCall tool runs inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That is also why it finishes in seconds instead of waiting in an upload queue.
Is it free?+
Yes — 3 tasks per day are free with no account. If you need more, a $2 day pass gives unlimited tasks for 24 hours and Pro is $6/month.
