Why this workflow works
- Useful middle target between 1MB and 2MB
- Medium compression first, High when the cap is strict
- Page extraction available when compression alone is not enough
- Before-and-after file size visible before checkout
1.5MB target
Compress PDF to 1.5MB.
Some upload portals set a limit between 1MB and 2MB. BitePDF helps you try a 1.5MB target, compare readability, and export only when the preview looks usable.
How to use it
- Upload the PDF that needs to fit under a 1.5MB cap.
- Start with Medium to preserve readable text and scan detail.
- Use High or remove extra pages if the preview remains above the limit.
Use cases
Good for urgent document tasks.
- visa uploads
- school portals
- job applications
- reimbursement forms

Batch compressQuestions people ask before exporting
Can BitePDF always make a PDF exactly 1.5MB?
No. The result depends on the original file, page count, and image detail. BitePDF shows the real output size first so you can decide whether the file is ready.
Should I use 1MB, 1.5MB, or 2MB compression?
Use the smallest target your portal requires. If the portal allows 2MB, that target usually preserves more quality than forcing 1MB.
