# Compress PDF to 2MB for upload portals.

Compress PDF files for 2MB school, visa, job, and government upload limits. Preview the smaller file before you export.

A 2MB limit is common on India university forms, reimbursement claims, visa paperwork, and job portals. BitePDF helps you hit the target with fewer retries and a visible preview before export.

## Target

2MB target

## Example Result

- Original: 8.4 MB
- BitePDF output: 1.9 MB
- Saved: 77% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Low, Medium, and High compression for strict 2MB limits
- Output-size preview before you export or pay
- Trim unnecessary pages when compression alone is not enough
- One workspace for compress, merge, extract, sign, and print

## How To Use It

1. Drop the PDF and BitePDF immediately prepares a smaller copy.
2. Use Medium first, then High if the file must go below 2MB.
3. Checkout only when the result panel shows a usable output size.

## Good For

- university claims
- visa forms
- job portals
- government uploads

## 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.
