Compress PDF to 100KB when job portals, visa forms, or email gateways reject larger files. Pick the 100KB preset, upload your PDF, and download a smaller file compared against your size goal.

Scanned pages and photos compress less than text-only PDFs—trim pages or lower scan DPI if 100KB is not reachable.

How to use this tool

Upload your PDF, select the 100KB target preset, compress, and check downloaded file size in your file manager.

Worked example

Example: a 420KB resume PDF compresses toward 100KB for a portal with a strict ceiling—re-run if still over limit.

When to use this

  • Government or university forms with 100KB caps.
  • Email attachments on strict corporate gateways.
  • Passport or visa document uploads.

Common examples

  • 2.1 MB job-application PDF → 200 KB preset for a 250 KB portal cap.
  • Scanned syllabus at 4 MB → 500 KB preset before LMS upload.
  • One-page invoice PDF → 100 KB preset for legacy email gateways.
  • Portfolio PDF with photos → 500 KB then manual review of text sharpness.
  • Government form scan → 200 KB with readable 10 pt body text.

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.
