About Patla PDF: Compress PDF to Exact Size, Merge PDF & Image Resizer
Compress a PDF to an exact size in seconds, entirely on your computer. Patla PDF is a free, offline PDF compressor and image resizer for online forms and email attachment limits. Your files are never uploaded.
★ COMPRESS PDF TO A TARGET SIZE
Choose a preset such as 100KB, or type any size in KB. Patla PDF finds the best quality that still fits under your limit and shows the size before and after. It tries a lossless optimization first, so text stays selectable whenever possible. A grayscale option makes scanned documents even smaller.
★ REDUCE PDF SIZE WITHOUT LOSING QUALITY
Use Lossless optimize mode to shrink a PDF while keeping its text and images exactly as they are.
★ MERGE PDF FILES
Drag and drop several PDFs, reorder them, remove any file, and combine them into one PDF. You can then compress the merged file in one click.
★ SPLIT PDF AND EXTRACT PAGES
Keep only the pages you need (for example 1-3, 5), or split every page into its own PDF and download them all as a ZIP.
★ COMPRESS IMAGES
Make a JPG, PNG or WebP image smaller than a size limit and resize it by width and height. Ready-made presets cover common photo and signature sizes, for example a photo of around 50KB. Useful when an online form asks for a PDF or photo under a size limit.
★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Works offline. All processing happens inside your browser.
• No uploads, so it is safe for personal documents such as ID cards and certificates.
• No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit, and no paywall once your work is done.
• No special permissions. Patla PDF cannot read the websites you visit.
HOW TO USE
1. Click the Patla PDF icon in your toolbar (pin it for one-click access).

3. Drop your file, pick the size and click the button.
4. Download the result.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I compress a PDF to a specific size?
A: Open Compress PDF, drop your file, choose a preset or type your limit, and click Compress PDF. The result is always at or under your limit, and the exact size is shown.
Q: Are my files uploaded to a server?
A: No. Patla PDF runs completely in your browser and works without internet. Your documents never leave your device.
Q: Will the text stay selectable after compression?
A: Yes, if lossless optimization reaches your size. For very small targets, pages are turned into sharp images, so the text can no longer be selected. To keep text, use Lossless optimize mode or a larger size.
Q: How do I make a photo smaller for an online form?
A: Open Compress Image, choose a photo preset, or type your own size limit and dimensions, then click Compress image.
Q: Can I merge PDFs and then compress them?
A: Yes. After merging, click "Compress this PDF" to send the merged file straight to the compressor.
Q: Is it really free?
A: Yes. Every feature is free, with no limits, no watermark and no account.
Q: Does it work with password-protected PDFs?
A: Remove the password first, then use Patla PDF.
