Rollphy Pro lifts the file limit and unlocks batch mode.
2MB is the standard cap on job application portals and university admission systems — the size recruiters' platforms accept per document, and the line many scanned CVs and certificate bundles overshoot. This page compresses any PDF under 2MB entirely in your browser — the file never touches a server.
The compressor first re-encodes the images inside your PDF at lower quality, keeping text selectable — usually all a resume portfolio or certificate scan needs. If that can't reach 2MB, pages re-render at the highest resolution the budget carries. The result note always says which route your file took.
At 2MB even multi-page bundles stay genuinely sharp: signatures, stamps and small print survive. The honest trade-off only appears with very long scans, where the tool scales pages down just enough and tells you it did.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I make a PDF under 2MB?
- Drop it on this page. The compressor searches quality levels and only re-renders when image re-encoding can't reach 2MB. The exact output size is shown before you download.
- Can I compress a scanned certificate and keep it readable?
- Yes — 2MB is roomy for one or two pages. The re-render route keeps retina-level resolution for seals and signatures; the result note confirms what route your file took.
- Why was my 20MB scan so large?
- Scanner apps save pages as full-quality photos — several megabytes per page. Re-encoding those embedded images at sensible quality is exactly the first step this compressor tries, and it usually alone reaches 2MB.
