Why compress PDFs to 30kb

PDF files have a habit of being much larger than you'd expect, even when the content itself is fairly simple. A scanned form, a short report with a couple of images, or a presentation saved as a PDF can all end up taking up more space than necessary. This becomes a problem when you need to email the file, upload it to an online system, or store it alongside other documents in a shared folder. Many email providers and web portals have upload limits that an uncompressed PDF can easily exceed, which can slow things down or block you altogether.

Compressing a PDF to 30KB is a good middle ground for documents that contain a mix of text and simple graphics. At that size, you've got enough room to keep the file looking decent while still fitting comfortably within most upload restrictions. Zamzar's online PDF compressor makes the process simple: upload your PDF, and you'll have a compressed version ready to download in just a few moments. This is a handy option for things like scanned letters, short business reports, or completed forms that you need to send off quickly. It's also useful if you're uploading documents to a school portal, a job application system, or any other platform where smaller file sizes are preferred.
