Compress a PDF to under 250 KB

A 250 KB limit is common for certificates and mark sheets. Make your PDF fit without re-scanning it.

  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. 250 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.

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.
