Compress PDF to 200 KB
Bring your PDF under 200 KB — a common limit for application documents — while keeping it as sharp as possible.
How to use it
- Choose your PDF.
- It is compressed to 200 KB or less automatically.
- Download the result and upload it.
Room for multi-page documents
200 KB is enough for most two- to five-page documents to stay clear, and often for text PDFs to keep their selectable text. It suits CVs, cover letters, transcripts and supporting documents.
Text PDFs vs scans
PDFs exported from Word or Google Docs are usually already small and stay text. Scanned and photographed documents are images inside the PDF, so they are the ones that need real compression.
Frequently asked questions
Are my documents uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device, so your documents are never sent to a server. That matters for ID cards, certificates, bank statements and contracts.
Will my CV still be searchable?
If the CV PDF can fit in 200 KB without converting pages to images — most can — yes. The page tells you which method was used.
Does it work with any PDF?
Any unprotected PDF. Password-protected files need the password removed first.
