Fitting diagrams under two megabytes

Two megabyte caps are common on court, permit and council submission systems that still want legible diagrams, plans and photographs. Documents in that class are heavy by nature: every embedded image adds its own weight, and the total drifts past the limit during ordinary editing.

MillFile spends the budget where it matters. Each page competes for space in the 2 MB total, so dense, image-heavy pages are reduced while light pages keep their full detail - and a lossless rebuild runs first, which is enough for plenty of documents. The whole pipeline runs on your device, so plans and filings never touch a server.

Free and unlimited. No account, no watermark, no daily cap — and the file is processed on your device, never on a server.

Questions about compressing to 2 MB

How do I compress a PDF to 2 MB?

Choose the 2 MB target above, drop the file, and download it when the badge confirms the new size. Large documents page through quickly and report progress while they work.

Can it handle multi-page documents?

Yes. Pages are processed one at a time with a shared size budget, so a long report compresses as a whole instead of each page being cut to the same level blindly.

What happens to pages that are already small?

They keep their quality. Reduction is applied only where a page would otherwise break the 2 MB total.

Where do my files go?

Nowhere. MillFile has no backend - reading, compressing and downloading all happen inside this browser tab.

Can I compress to 2 MB without losing searchable text?

Frequently, yes. A 2 MB allowance is wide enough that many documents finish after the lossless rebuild, which leaves text fully selectable and searchable. Only the pages that still overshoot become images, and they stay readable even though they stop being searchable.

Will my diagrams still be legible at 2 MB?

That is the point of this target, so the budget is spent to keep them readable: heavy pages give up detail first and light pages keep theirs. Re-rendered pages land between roughly 45 and 144 dots per inch, and a large drawing sheet less. Open the result at full zoom before sending a plan to a council.

Do links and form fields survive compression to 2 MB?

Real text pages keep their links. Pages that are re-rendered turn into pictures and lose links, fillable fields and signatures with them, and no version of the output keeps the bookmark outline or the stored document title. If the filing needs either, send the original document.
