Compress PDF to 200KB for application systems with moderate limits. Choose the 200KB preset to balance readability and size when 100KB is too aggressive for your document.
200KB is often enough for text-heavy resumes and forms while preserving modest photo quality.

How it works
Upload a PDF, pick a target size (100 KB, 200 KB, or 500 KB), and compress via the same secure server pipeline as our standard PDF compressor. The result shows actual file size versus your target and notes when the target cannot be reached.
Limitations
Compressed files are stored temporarily and deleted automatically. Results depend on PDF content; scanned pages may not reach aggressive targets.
Privacy and file handling
Your file is uploaded securely for temporary processing. See the tool details below for retention behavior.
