# Compress PDF to 2 MB Drop your PDF; Yeti shrinks the images step by step until the file is under 2 MB, without touching the text. 1. **Add PDFs**: Select one or more files. 2. **Target is set**: The target size is 2 MB; change it if you like. 3. **Compress and download**: The result is under 2 MB; if it can't fit, you'll see the smallest size reached. PDF files ## How to compress a PDF to 2 MB Yeti first re-encodes the photos and scans in your PDF lightly; if the file is still over 2 MB, it steps up the compression and picks the lightest result that fits. Text, fonts and line art stay exactly as they are, so lettering stays sharp. 2 MB is a generous limit for email attachments and most upload forms; images usually change so little that you won't notice. If your file is already under 2 MB, it is left as it is. To stay safely under the limit, 1 KB counts as 1000 bytes: the result fits whether the form counts 1000 or 1024 bytes per KB. ## Frequently asked questions ### What if the PDF can't get under 2 MB? Yeti gives you the smallest file it can reach and shows its size. If the document is mostly text and fonts, there are few images to shrink; [removing pages](https://yetipdf.com/en/remove-pdf-pages) or [splitting](https://yetipdf.com/en/split-pdf) the file helps in that case. ### Will the text get blurry? No. Only images are re-encoded; text, fonts and lines stay as they are. In scanned documents the page itself is an image, so the text shrinks along with it; zoom in on the result before you send it. ### Can I compress several PDFs at once? Yes. Each file is brought under 2 MB on its own; download the results one by one or as a ZIP. ### Is my file uploaded to a server? No. Compression runs entirely in your browser; your file never leaves your device. ## Compress a PDF to a target size - [Compress PDF to 100 KB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-100kb) - [Compress PDF to 200 KB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-200kb) - [Compress PDF to 500 KB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-500kb) - [Compress PDF to 1 MB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-1mb) - [Compress PDF to 5 MB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-5mb) - [Compress PDF to 10 MB](https://yetipdf.com/en/compress-pdf-to-10mb) ## Related tools - [PDF to JPG](https://yetipdf.com/en/pdf-to-jpg): Convert every PDF page into high-quality JPG or PNG images. - [Split PDF](https://yetipdf.com/en/split-pdf): Split by page ranges or turn every page into a separate PDF. - [Sanitize Document](https://yetipdf.com/en/sanitize-pdf): Remove metadata, scripts, hidden data and attachments before you share. - [Merge PDF](https://yetipdf.com/en/merge-pdf): Combine multiple PDFs into a single document in the order you want. --- [About Yeti](https://yetipdf.com/en/about) · [Contact](https://yetipdf.com/en/contact) · [Privacy](https://yetipdf.com/en/privacy) · [Terms of use](https://yetipdf.com/en/terms)
