Insurance Compress PDF to 10MB Online — Free
10MB is the attachment ceiling on most corporate mail servers, and the practical limit for anything you want a recipient to actually open on a phone. The files that hit it are scanned books, full project archives, photography portfolios and multi-hundred-page reports.
Confileo accepts source files up to 100MB and applies a light setting so scanned pages stay readable. At this size, though, splitting is often the better answer than compressing — the FAQ below explains when.

How to compress a PDF to 10MB
- Drop your large PDF below. Anything up to 100MB is accepted.
- Light compression is pre-selected so scanned text stays sharp enough to read.
- Compress — a large scan takes a little longer than a short document, so give it a moment.
- Download, or if you are still above 10MB, split the file by chapter and send the parts separately.

Compress PDF to 10MB — FAQ
Compress first: it is quick and non-destructive. If the file is still oversized, split it — a 400-page scanned archive has a real size floor that no compression setting can beat, because every page carries its own image.
Because a scan stores every page as a photograph, not as text. A 300 DPI colour scan can be 2-3MB per page on its own. Scanning in grayscale at 150 DPI is the single biggest saving available.
Yes at this target. The light setting is chosen so scanned characters stay sharp. Aggressive compression is what makes scans look muddy, and it is not used here.
Usually well under a minute. A hundred-megabyte scan takes longer than a short document because every embedded page image has to be re-encoded.
Yes. The file is encrypted in transit, processed, then deleted automatically. We never store or share your documents.
