# Compress PDF to 2MB without ruining quality.

Reduce a PDF toward 2MB while keeping quality readable with Low, Medium, and High compression profiles.

No compressor can guarantee zero quality loss for every PDF, but BitePDF lets you compare profiles and choose the smallest readable result.

## Target

quality-safe 2MB

## Example Result

- Original: 7.6 MB
- BitePDF output: 1.8 MB
- Saved: 76% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Low mode keeps more detail
- Medium mode balances quality and size
- High mode targets strict limits
- Preview before checkout so you can judge readability

## How To Use It

1. Upload the PDF and start with Medium.
2. Use Low if the file is readable but only slightly too large.
3. Use High if the upload limit matters more than fine detail.

## Good For

- quality-sensitive scans
- resume PDFs
- client PDFs
- application forms

## Questions

### Does BitePDF show the compression result before checkout?

Yes. BitePDF shows original size, output size, and saved percentage before you choose an export plan.

### Can I change compression strength?

Yes. The compression picker lets you choose Low, Medium, or High. Low favors quality, Medium balances quality and size, and High targets the smallest export.
