About this tool
200 KB is the limit many government, university and job portals set for each uploaded document. A scanned certificate or a short CV fits comfortably once its pictures are scaled to screen size; a multi-page scan may need pages turned into pictures, which the tool does only when allowed and says when it did.
Text PDFs made in Word rarely need any of this: they are usually under 200 KB already, and the tool says so instead of changing them. Scans are the usual case, and a scan at the "Strong" setting still reads clearly on a screen, which is all a portal reviewer sees.
Frequently asked questions
Which documents fit under 200 KB?
A CV made in Word, a one-page certificate, an ID scan or two to four scanned pages at a readable size. Longer scans may need splitting.
Can I compress a PDF to 200 KB without losing quality?
The text, yes: it is not touched unless pages had to become pictures. The pictures do lose some detail, because they are scaled down to screen resolution. A scan stays readable on a screen, which is what a portal checks, but prints softer. Keep the original for printing.
Can I do several PDFs at once?
Yes. Add them all; each is compressed to under 200 KB and you can save them one by one or as a ZIP.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
Can I set a different limit than 200 KB?
Yes. Change the number to any limit between 20 and 50,000 KB; the 100 KB, 500 KB and 1 MB pages open with those limits set.
PDF ka size 200KB tak kam kaise kare? (How do I get a PDF under 200 KB on my phone?)
Open this page on the phone, add the PDF and tap "Compress to 200 KB": the limit is already set. The PDF is compressed on the phone itself, and the smaller file saves to Files or shares straight to the portal app.
