Compress a PDF to 200 KB, Right in Your Browser

Drop the PDF and it is compressed in your browser right away. Each page is drawn as an image at up to 150 DPI and the PDF is rebuilt from those images. The tool tries higher JPEG quality first and lowers the resolution only when quality alone is not enough, never below 60 DPI, where text stops being readable. You see the final size before you download.

Scanners and phone apps often save each page at 300 DPI or more, in colour, which is several hundred KB a page. Most forms only need the page to be readable, so a lower JPEG quality and 100 to 150 DPI usually do the job at a fraction of the size.

No. Every page is saved as an image, so text can no longer be selected, copied or searched, and links are removed. For scanned certificates, marksheets and photographed documents, which are images already, nothing visible changes. For a PDF made in a word processor, keep the original as well.

No. The PDF is read, compressed and saved on your own device. Nothing is sent to us, which matters for marksheets, IDs and other personal documents.

Remove the password first. A password-protected PDF cannot be opened in the browser without it, and the tool says so instead of failing silently.

Yes. Type any size in KB in the Target size box, or use the presets for 100, 300 and 500 KB and 1 MB.
