When you need a 200 KB PDF

Some recruitment portals limit each document to 200 KB. That's tight, so it works best for one or two pages, like a single certificate or letter.

Tips for fitting in 200 KB

Frequently asked questions

Can I compress a 5 MB PDF to 200 KB?

Yes, for a page or two. Larger documents may become hard to read at 200 KB, so the tool will tell you if it can't fit them.

Why does my compressed PDF look grey?

You turned on Black and white. Turn it off to keep colour, which needs more space.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The PDF is made inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone.

Is this tool free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many PDFs you make.
