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