A compact manual pump includes a body, a valve assembly connected with the body, and a first cylinder assembly rotatable with respect to the body. The body includes first and second collect inlets, and an exhaust outlet. The first cylinder assembly includes a seat, first and second inflating inlets. While the first cylinder assembly is rotated to switch to low pressure pumping mode, the first inflating inlet is connected with the first collect inlet and the second inflating inlet is connected with the second collect inlet and the exhaust outlet is blocked by the seat. While the first cylinder assembly is rotated to switch to high pressure pumping mode, the first inflating inlet is connected with the first collect inlet and the second inflating inlet is connected with the exhaust outlet and the second collect inlet is blocked by the seat.
