Compress a PDF to 200 KB

Preset to a 200 KB ceiling — a common upload allowance that keeps a document more readable than the tighter 100 KB limit. Drop your PDF and download one that fits.

The compressor searches for the best quality under 200 KB rather than crushing the file, so text pages in particular stay clearly legible.

If a document simply cannot reach the target, it is split into parts that each pass the limit rather than producing one unusable file.

How to use it

  1. Add your PDF.
  2. The target is preset to 200 KB; adjust only if your form allows a different size.
  3. Press Compress and download the result, or the parts if it had to be split.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device’s processing power. The file never leaves your computer or phone, which is why it also works when your connection drops.
Will the text stay selectable?
Compression re-renders pages as images to hit a hard size target, so the output is a visual PDF. That is the trade-off that makes an exact limit achievable.
My scanned PDF will not reach 200 KB — why?
Scanned pages are photographs and need far more data than text to stay readable. Remove pages you do not need, or accept a slightly softer result.
