Pagetaper: PDF Size Reducer

Create a smaller image-only copy of a scanned PDF for an upload form or attachment limit. Pagetaper keeps the original file and processes the selected PDF on this device. Choose a PDF, set a 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB or custom target, and explicitly accept image-only conversion. The app renders pages sequentially and tries bounded image-quality candidates. It reports the real output size and whether the target was met. Preview every page and check small text before exporting. A candidate can remain above the target or even be larger than the original. If the original already fits, sharing it preserves its document features. Supported inputs are ordinary unencrypted PDFs up to 20 MB and 30 pages, subject to page-complexity and pixel limits. Encrypted PDFs and signature fields are refused. The exported copy contains page images. Selectable and searchable text, links, forms, accessibility tags and document structure are removed. This is not lossless optimization, OCR, a PDF editor or a signature-preserving tool. Use it for scans when those features do not need to be retained. Nothing is uploaded for conversion. No account, advertising, subscription or in-app purchase is required. The interface is in English.

Initial release. Create smaller image-based PDF copies for upload limits, preview pages, and share through the native chooser while keeping originals unchanged.
