Please keep this page open.
200 KB is a common limit on job portals, university admissions and visa document checklists. It leaves room for two to four scanned pages or a CV with a photo, as long as the images inside are compressed sensibly.
A single page full of photos usually keeps its full resolution at 200 KB. Long scans of five pages or more may be turned into compact page images to stay under the limit.
You choose the limit and the file comes out under it. No guessing between low, medium and high compression.
Images are compressed step by step and only as much as needed, so the text stays sharp and readable.
No account and no watermark. Files are deleted automatically after 1 hour(s).
Created by Adobe in 1993, PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look identical on every screen and printer. It embeds fonts, images and layout in one file and supports passwords, forms and digital signatures.
Text-only PDFs, such as a CV exported from Word, can have dozens of pages under 200 KB. For scanned pages, count roughly two to four pages at good readability.
Select your PDF, keep the target at 200KB and click "Compress to 200KB". A few seconds later you can download a PDF of 200KB or less.
The images inside the PDF are compressed first. If that is not enough, the pages are turned into compact images. When even that is too big (very long documents), you get the smallest possible file and a message tells you so. Split the PDF or remove pages, then try again.
Yes. Text and vector graphics are kept as they are whenever the target can be reached by compressing the images, which is the case for most scans and photo documents.
We count 1 KB as 1000 bytes, so the file is slightly under the limit in both systems and every upload form accepts it.
Yes, completely free. There is no registration and no watermark is added to your files.
Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection and deleted automatically after 1 hour(s). After downloading you can also delete them immediately with one click.
Each file can be up to 50 MB.
