Compress PDF to 200 KB
Upload a PDF and download it under 200 KB, at the highest quality that still fits. Text-only documents usually keep selectable text; scans are sharpened down only as far as the limit requires.
Runs in your browser. Your file is not uploaded and nothing is stored.

What fits at this size
| What you are uploading | Fits in 200 KB? |
|---|---|
| Text-only PDF, up to about 40 pages | Usually yes, text stays selectable |
| 1–4 page black-and-white scan | Yes, with clear text |
| Mark sheet or certificate scanned in colour | Yes for 1–2 pages; check stamps and seals are legible |
| 10+ page colour scan | Often too blurry; split it into parts |
Before you submit
- 200 KB is a common limit for certificates and ID proofs on admission and scholarship portals.
- A colour seal or signature is usually the first thing to blur. Zoom in on it in the result before you submit.
- When a form asks for several documents in one PDF, merge only the required pages. Every extra page takes size from the others.

For one or two pages, yes in almost every case. The tool starts at the highest quality and only steps down until the file fits, so it never goes lower than needed.
No. Compression runs in your browser; the file does not leave your device.
It varies, so the tool aims about 3% under the upper limit and, where there is a lower limit, just above it in 1,024-byte KB. The file is accepted either way.
