What PDF size works on WhatsApp?

Smaller is better on mobile data. Try 1–5 MB first; use 100–500 KB pages for strict cases.

Does compress for WhatsApp upload my PDF?

No. Compression is local in your browser.

Sharing IDs on WhatsApp?

Compress is not enough — redact Aadhaar/PAN fields and Deep Clean before sharing.

Short answer

WhatsApp and mobile sharing struggle with large PDFs. Use Target size (often 1–5 MB or less) below. Processing stays on your device — useful in India and everywhere WhatsApp is the default share path.

How it works

1
Open the PDF you want to shrink.
2
Choose Keep text (recommended), Max shrink, or Target size.
3
For target size, type a number and pick KB or MB; for max shrink, pick Low / Medium / High (or custom DPI).
4
Click Compress, check the resulting size, and download.

Files never leave your device

Your PDF is processed in this browser tab. Files never leave your device, and mypdf.space does not receive uploads. No account, no watermark, no server-side copy.

Limits worth knowing

Aggressive compression can blur stamps and signatures — preview before sending.
Document chat limits change; when in doubt, aim smaller.
