Why file size still blocks people
Phone cameras shoot multi‑megabyte photos by default. Scanners spit out multi‑page PDFs packed with high‑resolution images. Meanwhile, email providers, university portals, visa sites, and job boards still enforce strict upload caps. You end up stuck between “file too large” and “please don’t install another desktop app.”
ReduceSize is built for that moment. Open a PDF, image, or GIF tool, drop your file, adjust quality or a target size in KB, then download a lighter copy you can actually submit.
What to try first
- Forms with a KB number printed on the page — use a target‑size preset like 100 KB images or 200 KB PDFs.
- Email attachments — start with the PDF reducer or image reducer, then lower quality until the size looks safe.
- Single-format photos — jump to JPG, photo, PNG, or WebP when you already know the format.
- Animated loops — use the GIF size reducer to cap edge length and palette colors for chat apps.
- Video — the video size reducer is coming next.
- Batches — add several files, reduce them together, and download a ZIP when you’re done.
A quick workflow that works
- Drop the file (or several).
- Open Options—pick a KB target if the form prints one, otherwise start with quality around 70–80%.
- Press Reduce, check the new size, open the result once, then download.
