How to compress a PDF to 200 KB

  1. Step 1

    Choose the PDF you want to shrink. It is opened in this tab, not uploaded.

  2. Step 2

    Keep the 200 KB target, or pick another size or level.

  3. Step 3

    Press Compress PDF and download a file of 200 KB or less.

Images are resampled to the size the page draws them and re-encoded step by step until the file is 200 KB or less. Text, links and form fields are not touched, so text stays sharp and selectable. Processing never leaves this tab.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reduce a PDF to 200 KB?

Drop your PDF here and press Compress PDF. The 200 KB target is already chosen; the download is the largest, sharpest version that fits under it.

Can I compress several PDFs to 200 KB at once?

Yes. Choose more than one PDF and each one is compressed to the target on its own, then you can download them one by one or as a ZIP.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is read and rewritten inside this browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.

What if my PDF cannot get that small?

The tool steps image quality down until the file fits. If it would have to wreck the images to get there, it stops and gives you the smallest readable version with a note saying the target was not reached.
