PDFTash compresses as small as possible. The actual output size depends on your PDF's content. Text-only documents (certificates, letters) typically go well below 100KB. Scanned PDFs with photos may need two compression passes to reach 200KB.
Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC), Bangladesh Police recruitment, UPSC (India), SSC CGL, IBPS bank exams, and most university online admission portals require uploaded documents to be 100KB–500KB. PDFTash helps you meet these limits.
Yes. Text in PDFs is stored as vector data, not images — it never degrades during compression. Only embedded image quality is affected, and PDFTash uses a setting that maintains visual clarity while minimizing size.
Download the compressed file and upload it again for a second pass. You can also use our Split PDF tool to remove unnecessary pages before compressing.
All uploads are encrypted with HTTPS. Files are processed in an isolated environment and automatically deleted after 2 hours. We never read, store, or share your document content.
Both produce similar quality results. PDFTash has no daily limit (Smallpdf limits free users to 2 tasks/hour) and no signup required. PDFTash also includes AI tools like PDF translation and chat that Smallpdf charges extra for.
