Compress PDF to 200 KB
Shrink a PDF to under 200 KB for common document upload limits on job and admission portals. Free and private — pages are re-rendered at progressively lower quality in your browser until the file fits, never uploaded.
To compress a PDF to 200 KB, this tool re-renders the pages at progressively lower quality and resolution until the file drops under 200 KB. Drop your PDF and it targets 200 KB automatically. If 200 KB isn't reachable, it delivers the smallest version it can and tells you the exact size rather than faking success. Processing happens locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to 200 KB?
Load your PDF here and it steps the image quality and resolution down until the file is under 200 KB, then lets you download it. You'll see the final size first.
Will the text stay selectable?
No — to hit a strict size target, pages are re-rendered as images, so text becomes part of the image. Keep the original if you need selectable text.
What if the PDF can't reach 200 KB?
Very long or dense PDFs may not fit 200 KB while staying readable. In that case the tool shows the smallest size it achieved instead of claiming success.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No — compression runs entirely in your browser.
