Compress PDF to 200 KB

Compress PDF to 200 KB reduces your document to 200 kilobytes or less, a common limit on job and admission portals. Automatic, private and free.
A 200 KB limit is common for supporting documents on online application portals, such as a résumé, ID proof or marksheet. A typical scanned page fits comfortably, and a short multi-page document usually does too. The tool keeps the best quality that still fits, so text and signatures stay legible for a normal scan.
The tool rebuilds each page as a compressed image and steps the quality and resolution down until the whole file fits under the limit, then stops at the first result that fits, so you keep as much quality as possible. Because pages become images, the text in the compressed file cannot be selected. Keep your original for that.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to under 200 KB?+
Upload it here and press Compress to 200 KB. The tool lowers image quality and resolution step by step until the file is under 200 KB, then gives you the result.
Will a scanned marksheet stay readable at 200 KB?+
Usually yes for one or two pages. Text-heavy scans compress well; photographs compress less.
Is my PDF uploaded?+
No. Compression runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
What if it cannot reach the limit?+
Very long or dense documents may not fit. You will be told, and given the smallest readable version. Splitting the PDF into two parts first usually solves it.
