Compress PDF to 200 KB
200 KB is the favourite cap of tender portals, recruitment forms, exam applications and HR systems. It gives you real headroom — multi-page text documents usually pass without visible quality loss — and this page opens the compressor pre-set to exactly that limit.
Get under a size limit
Picking a size limit automatically turns pages into compact images and dials quality down until the file fits. Nothing is ever uploaded — compression happens entirely in this tab.
Getting under 200 KB without regretting it
Multi-page documents fit easily
Twenty pages of text compress to well under 200 KB with the automatic limit. Scanned attachments are again the thing that blows the budget.
Signature and stamp pages
If your PDF includes a signed page, compress with a higher level first and check the signature page stays legible before you submit.
Keep a master copy
The original stays on your device — submit the compressed copy and keep the original for your records.
Good to know
Is 200 KB enough for a multi-page document?
For text-based documents, comfortably. The limit mainly bites when pages are scans or contain large photos.
Will my digital signature survive?
Compressing a signed PDF does not invalidate the visible signature, but some portals verify cryptographic signatures — check with the issuer if your document is formally signed.
Can I compress password-protected PDFs?
No — remove the password first (print to a new PDF), then compress.
