Compress PDF to 50 KB shrinks a PDF until it fits under 50 KB, for forms with very strict upload limits. It keeps the sharpest version that fits and runs entirely in your browser. 50 KB is a tight limit: it's usually reachable for one or two pages of text or a single scanned page, not for long or photo-heavy documents.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to a server. Your original file is never changed, and leaving or reloading the page clears it from the tool.
Short text documents and single scanned pages usually can. A scan saved in color at high resolution, or a document with many pages or photos, often can't, even at the strongest setting.
The tool tells you and still gives you the smallest version it could make. To go further, remove pages you don't need with Delete PDF Pages, split the document with Split PDF and upload the parts, or rescan paper documents at a lower resolution or in black and white.
BoringPDF aims below 50,000 bytes, the stricter reading of 50 KB, so the result passes upload forms that use either definition.
No. The file is processed by your browser on your own device and is never uploaded. Closing or reloading the page clears it from the tool.
