How to compress a PDF to 200 KB

  1. 1. Choose the PDF

    Pick the marksheet, certificate, ID or application you need to upload.

  2. 2. Wait for the 200 KB copy

    Compression starts by itself and aims for a file under 200 KB. No size to choose.

  3. 3. Check and upload

    The smaller PDF downloads on its own. Open it once to check the text is still readable, then upload it.

FAQ

Which forms need a PDF under 200 KB?

Many exam, scholarship, job and government portals cap each document at 200 KB, for example SSC, UPSC, banking and state recruitment applications.

Will every PDF reach 200 KB?

Most one or two page documents do. A long or photo-heavy PDF may not reach 200 KB without becoming unreadable; split it or scan fewer pages.

Will the text stay readable?

Text stays sharp. Photos and scans lose some detail, which is where the size is saved.

Is my document uploaded?

No. The PDF is compressed inside your browser, so certificates and ID documents never leave your device.

What if the file is still too big?

Remove pages you do not need, or rescan the paper in black and white at a lower resolution, then compress again.

Is it free?

Yes. There are no ads, no watermark and no daily limit.
