Compress a PDF to 200 KB

Meet a 200 KB upload cap without uploading your file first.

Files never leave your device · No upload · Free

A 200 KB limit is common on government and application portals, and scans usually blow past it. This tool targets 200 KB as soon as you add a file and shrinks it on your device, so nothing is uploaded to get it done.

How to compress a PDF to 200 KB

  1. 1

    Add your PDF

    Drop in the file that is above 200 KB.

  2. 2

    Keep the 200 KB target

    The target is preset to 200 KB; change it if your form differs.

  3. 3

    Compress and download

    Save the smaller PDF, made locally.

Why keep the file on your device

Compressing locally means your document is never sent to a third-party server just to make it smaller, so there is no copy left behind after you upload it to the real portal.
