About This Tool
A 200KB ceiling is common on government forms, application portals, and upload systems that store thousands of documents. This tool compresses PDFs to 200KB or less while keeping text crisp and layouts intact, all in your browser. Upload your document, pick a compression level, and download a version that clears the limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of forms require a PDF under 200KB?
Government applications, school and visa portals, and some HR systems cap uploads at 200KB to keep storage lean. Text-only documents compress to this size easily.
Will my document look different at 200KB?
Text is vector-based in PDFs, so it stays sharp at any size. Compression mainly affects embedded images, and the Medium level keeps most documents looking clean.
What if a scanned document will not fit 200KB?
Use the High level - scanned pages are images and compress dramatically. If it is still too large, the tool's preview shows the size before you download.
