Private

Your file never leaves your browser.

Instant

Most files process in under a second.

No watermark

Output is byte-for-byte yours.

Built for the 200 KB upload limit

Many bank KYC portals, exam application forms, and SSC / UPSC sites accept PDFs only up to 200 KB. This page targets that exact ceiling so your file uploads on the first try.

How it compresses

We re-render your PDF pages at a lower DPI, recompress embedded images, and strip non-essential metadata. Everything happens locally in your browser — your file is never uploaded to our servers, which means it's safe to use with personal photos, IDs, and confidential documents.

Best practices

Start with a digitally generated PDF when possible. Re-scanning a paper document at 150 DPI in grayscale gives much smaller PDFs than 300 DPI color scans. Avoid embedded fonts you don't need.

Frequently asked

Will my 200 KB PDF look the same?+

Visually almost identical — text stays sharp, only photo DPI is reduced.

Is there a file size limit?+

No. Because compression happens in your browser, you can drop in PDFs of any size.

Does it add a watermark?+

Never.
