When you need a PDF to be exactly 300KB

You finish the paperwork, and the upload box says "PDF, max 2MB." Your file is 4.8MB. The deadline is this afternoon. So you compress it. 3.1MB — still too big. You compress harder. 1.2MB — now the text is mush. You try to find the middle. 2.4MB. Again. And again. The problem is that most compressors don't let you say how small. They give you Low, Medium, High. You are throwing without knowing where it lands. You only need one thing: to type the number yourself. Need 300KB? Type 300. Need 2MB? Type 2000. The tool should hit that line. That is what PDF300 does. https://pdf300.com/ A few practical notes If the text matters, do not aim too low. Scanned documents start to fall apart under 300KB. If the office accepts 500KB, use 500. If the file is mostly photographs, the photographs are the weight. Lowering resolution shrinks it far more than removing pages. Shrink before you merge. Reducing the two heavy pages first gives a cleaner result than merging twenty pages and squeezing the whole thing. Open it before you submit. People pass the size check, upload, and get rejected because the text is unreadable. About your files Paperwork often carries names, ID numbers, bank details. The core tools in PDF300 run inside your browser — the file never leaves your device. Close the tab and nothing remains. Only the heavy ones (OCR, unlock, repair, Office conversion) need a server, and those are marked on the page. About the price Of the 24 tools, the 14 that run in your browser stay free. Only the server-side ones use a day pass: US$0.99. No subscription. No auto-renew. No account. Paying monthly to fix one file never made sense to us. Written by someone who does structural engineering work and got stuck at a submission deadline over a file size.
