Compress a PDF to under 200 KB

200 KB is one of the most common limits on job, admission and government forms. Make your PDF fit in a few seconds.

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3

How to do it

  1. Add your PDF, or photos of the pages. You can add several at once.
  2. 200 KB and PDF are already chosen for you. Change them if your form asks for something else.
  3. Tap Next, then make your files. Each one is saved under the limit.

Questions

Will it really be under the limit?

Yes. The app keeps trying smaller settings until the file fits, and it counts 1 KB as 1000 bytes. That is the stricter way to count, so the file passes whether the upload form counts in 1000s or 1024s. If a file cannot fit at all, the app tells you instead of handing you a file that fails.

Will the text in my PDF still be selectable?

To reach a small size, each page is saved as a picture inside the PDF, so the text can no longer be selected or searched. It still looks the same and is fine for upload forms. If you need searchable text, use the Searchable PDF tool.

Can I turn photos of my documents into a PDF under 200 KB?

Yes. Add the photos instead of a PDF and keep PDF selected. Turn on "Join everything into one PDF" to get a single file with every page.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your files never leave your device, which is why it also works with no internet once the page has loaded.
