Processed on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Pick a PDF and get a copy of 200 KB or less. To reach such a small size, pages are saved as images, so text will no longer be selectable.

Upload limits

This tool uses a fixed target and does not depend on a service limit.

How it works

  1. Choose a PDF document.
  2. Lossless mode re-saves the file without touching the content; guaranteed mode turns pages into images.
  3. The tool finds the highest resolution and quality that fit the limit.
  4. Download the smaller PDF.

Didn’t fit? What to do

  • Keep only the pages the form asks for: every page takes a share of the 200 KB.
  • Long documents get less detail per page; split them if the form allows several files.
  • Black-and-white scans compress better than color photos of documents.
  • If the form also accepts JPG, a one-page document may look sharper as an image.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I select text after compressing?

To fit in 200 KB, each page is rendered as an image. The document looks the same but is no longer searchable.

Can I compress a scanned PDF to 200 KB?

Yes. Scans are already images, so they lose little extra. Check that small print is still readable before you submit.

Can a 20-page PDF fit in 200 KB?

Sometimes, but each page gets only a small share of the size, enough for plain text at low resolution. Send only the pages the form asks for.
