Compress a PDF to 200 KB online
Need a smaller attachment for an upload limit? Start with Strong compression, compare the result, and keep reducing only if the text remains readable. Exact 200 KB output is not guaranteed for every PDF.
Why 200 KB is not guaranteed
PDFs contain different combinations of text, images, fonts, and metadata. A browser tool cannot promise one exact size for every input.
A practical workflow
Choose Strong compression, compare the reported output size, and inspect the text before trying again.
When not to use raster compression
Use Lossless structural mode when selectable text, forms, links, signatures, or accessibility matter more than reaching a target size.
