Why use it
Why use our Compress PDF to 200KB tool
Room for a few pages
200 KB comfortably holds a handful of scanned pages, such as a set of certificates.
Text kept when possible
Digital PDFs often fit with a lossless rewrite alone, so their text stays selectable.
Page sizes unchanged
Pages keep their A4 or Letter size, so the document prints exactly as before.
Adjustable
Need 150 or 250 KB instead? Change the number or tap a quick target.
Runs on your phone
Works in mobile browsers too, without installing an app or uploading anything.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a PDF under 200 KB?
Some recruitment portals, university forms and scholarship applications set a 200 KB cap per document. Requirements differ between forms, so check the instructions you were given.
Will compressing to 200 KB blur my document?
Usually not noticeably for up to about five scanned pages. We choose the highest quality that fits, and only lower the resolution if quality alone isn't enough.
Why is my compressed PDF's text no longer selectable?
When the lossless rewrite isn't small enough, pages are stored as images. It looks the same but can't be searched. That's a normal trade-off for strong compression.
Can I compress several PDFs into one 200 KB file?
Merge them first with our Merge PDF tool, then compress the merged file here.
