Compress PDF to 200KB
Automatically steps quality down until your PDF fits under 200KB - free and entirely in your browser.
Job application systems, exam registration portals, and university admission forms commonly cap document uploads at 200KB. That budget covers a CV, a certificate scan, or a short signed form once the images inside are re-encoded. The tool runs the compression in passes until your PDF fits under 200KB, and because the work happens on your device, your personal documents stay private.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my CV or certificate under 200KB?
Just drop the PDF in - the target is preset to 200KB and the tool steps quality down automatically until it fits. Text-based CVs usually pass on the first try. Scanned certificates take a few passes, since the photo of the page is what carries most of the file size.
Will my signature and photo still be clear at 200KB?
In most cases, yes. A 200KB budget leaves enough quality for signatures, passport photos, and stamps to stay recognizable on a standard page. If a detail looks blurry after compression, crop the scan tighter before converting so the budget is spent on the part that matters.
