About

PDF Target

Features
Read full description

Your upload limit is exact. Your PDF should be too. PDF Target compresses scanned and image-based PDFs to fit the file size you choose—without uploading your documents to a server. BUILT FOR REAL UPLOAD LIMITS Choose a common target or enter the exact maximum size required by a work portal, government form, recruiting system, email provider, or document service. VERIFY BEFORE YOU SHARE • See the original and final file sizes • Verify that every page is still present • Keep page order and physical page size • Receive a clear result when the target is too aggressive PRIVATE BY DESIGN Compression happens entirely on your iPhone or iPad. PDF Target has no account, no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, and no document upload service. HONEST COMPRESSION Some limits cannot be reached without making a scanned document unreadable. PDF Target uses a minimum quality floor and tells you when a safer target is needed instead of silently returning a damaged file. YOUR ORIGINAL STAYS UNTOUCHED The app always creates a separate PDF. Share or save the result wherever you need it while keeping the source unchanged. Try three successful compressions at no charge. If PDF Target solves the problem for you, unlock unlimited use with one lifetime purchase. No subscription.
