Compress PDF to 200kb: what to know first

PDF keeps layout the same on every phone and computer, which is why forms, applications and prints ask for it. The Compress PDF handles the conversion in your browser, so the file stays on your phone or computer.

If a form asks for a file under 200 KB, make the file, look at its size in your downloads, and repeat with a lower quality setting or a smaller picture if it is still too big. Keep the original, since quality only goes down each time you shrink a file.

Steps

1. Choose your PDF.
2. Pick a compression level, or Target size and type a size in KB.
3. Press Compress PDF.
4. Download the smaller file and check that it looks right.

Common questions

How do I compress a PDF to under 200 KB?

Choose Target size, type 200 and press Compress PDF. The tool tries stronger settings until the file fits.

Does compression reduce quality?

Medium and Strong turn pages into compressed images, so text is slightly softer and can no longer be selected. Light keeps the text but saves less.

Why did my PDF not get smaller?

Some PDFs are already well optimized. Try the Strong level.
