Disclaimer

No guarantee of a specific outcome

PDFSizeFit tries to compress your file to at or under the target size you choose, and it measures the finished file before telling you whether that target was reached (How it works explains the process). It cannot promise that every file will reach every target. Some documents, especially short, mostly-text ones, are already close to their smallest possible size and simply have no more room to shrink.

No guarantee of fitness for a specific portal's requirements

We make no guarantee that a compressed file will be accepted by any particular visa, government, job, university, or other portal or system. Upload limits, accepted formats, and other requirements are set by those third parties, not by us, and can change at any time. You are responsible for confirming that your compressed file actually meets your destination system's requirements before relying on it — including opening it yourself first to confirm it looks and reads correctly.

Not professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, immigration, HR/hiring, or other professional advice about what any specific system requires. If a submission is time-sensitive or high-stakes, verify the exact requirements directly with the organization you're submitting to.

Compression quality

Reaching a small target size can require reducing image quality, and in rare cases converting pages to images as a last resort (which means the text is no longer selectable) — the tool always discloses when this happens rather than doing it silently. You're responsible for reviewing the compressed result before using it for anything important.

Conversion and editing results

Converting a PDF to Word reflows its text into ordinary editable paragraphs; it does not reproduce the original layout exactly, and multi-column layouts, tables, and scanned pages are not reconstructed as such. Editing existing text doesn't reflow the page, so a longer replacement can overlap nearby content. Merging, splitting, and reorganizing pages keep each page's content, but may not carry over every document-level feature of the original, such as bookmarks or form fields. Check the result before you rely on it.

Whiteout is not redaction

The Edit PDF whiteout tool draws an opaque box over part of a page. It covers what's underneath visually, but does not remove the original content from the file — someone with the file can still recover the covered text. Don't use it to hide confidential or legally sensitive information; use a dedicated redaction tool instead.

No liability for a rejected submission

We are not liable for any consequence of a document being rejected, delayed, or otherwise not accepted by a third-party system after compression, including any resulting missed deadline or lost opportunity. See Terms of Use for the fuller limitation of liability.
