Compress PDF to 200 KB
Resumes, certificates and KYC documents under 200 KB — without uploading them to anyone.
Compression re-renders image-heavy pages as JPEG images. With “Keep text selectable” on, pages made of text and vector graphics are only re-saved and stay searchable; pages that are mostly pictures are flattened.

Job portals, visa application centres and bank KYC forms commonly allow 200 KB per document. That is enough for a clear two- to four-page scan, a CV with a photo, or a set of certificates — if the pictures inside are compressed sensibly. Drop the file and the tool re-encodes it at the highest quality that still fits under 200 KB.
Because these are often identity and financial documents, it matters where they go: here they go nowhere. Compression runs in your browser tab, and the file never reaches a server.

Frequently asked questions
How many pages fit in 200 KB?
Usually two to four scanned pages at readable quality, and many more for a text-only PDF such as a CV exported from Word.
Will the text in my CV stay selectable?
Text pages without large pictures are only re-saved, so the text stays sharp and selectable. Pages that are mostly images become compressed pictures.
Can I do several documents at once?
Yes. Select all of them; each is compressed to the target separately.
Is my PDF uploaded to compress it?
No. Pages are re-encoded inside your browser; the file never leaves your device.
