Why this workflow works
- Designed for forms that say maximum file size is 2MB
- Medium and High compression options for strict caps
- Trim unneeded pages before export
- Result size appears before payment
under 2MB
Compress PDF under 2MB.
When a portal says the file must be under 2MB, you need the result to clear the cap, not just look smaller. BitePDF shows the output size before you export.
How to use it
- Drop in the PDF that the upload form rejected.
- Try Medium first, then High if the preview is still above 2MB.
- Remove pages the portal does not require, then export the smaller copy.
Use cases
Good for urgent document tasks.
- government forms
- visa portals
- school uploads
- job application portals

Batch compressQuestions people ask before exporting
Is this different from compress PDF to 2MB?
It is the same practical goal, framed for portals that say the file must be under 2MB. The preview tells you whether the current output clears the cap.
What if the output is 2.1MB?
Switch to High compression, remove unnecessary pages, or split the PDF into the exact document sections the portal requests.
