Compress PDF to 200kB

One to four scanned pages are the practical range, depending on colour and source quality. A born-digital text document can contain many more pages because characters and fonts compress far more efficiently than page photographs.

It fits the 50–300 kB PDF ranges in the cited 2026 JEE Main, NEET UG and CUET UG bulletins. Requirements change between cycles and fields, so verify the active notice before submitting.

They survive when the lossless re-save is enough. If the target requires page rendering, the visible page becomes a JPEG image and links, selectable text and form controls are flattened. The result card states the method used.

Colour requires the encoder to describe additional channels and lighting variations. Grayscale removes that information, letting the same 200 kB preserve sharper character edges, handwriting and line art.

Not while it is locked. Open the PDF with its password and save an unprotected copy from the original application, then compress that copy locally and keep the protected source as your archive.

This tool accepts PDF files only, up to 100 MB and with any number of pages. It cannot open a password-protected PDF; remove the password in the program that created it, then try again. Word, Excel or image files need converting to PDF first, which most phones and computers can do through Print to PDF or Save as PDF. The output is always a standard PDF with the original page sizes. If you want to shrink photos rather than documents, use the [image compressor](/), which handles JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and HEIC where the browser can decode it.

Your PDF is never sent anywhere, so there is no upload to worry about. The browser opens the file locally, and both compression methods run on your own processor: the lossless pass re-saves the document with compressed streams, and the re-render pass draws each page and packs it into a fresh PDF, all in memory on your device. Our servers only deliver the page itself. This matters for the kind of documents people compress: ID scans, bank statements, offer letters, medical reports. They remain as private after compression as they were before you opened the tool.

We cannot store what we never receive. Because the whole process happens in your browser, no copy of your document, its pages or its text is written to our servers, and there is no account history tying files to you. The compressed PDF lands in your Downloads folder and nowhere else. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs for page requests, which record things like IP address and browser type but never file contents. We also run no database. For a plain-language description of what little data the site does handle, see our privacy policy.

Mb2KbSizer shrinks images and PDF documents to a size you choose, free of charge, without leaving your browser. Give the PDF compressor a file of up to 100 MB, enter a target in kB, MB or as a percentage of the original, and it works to bring the document under that figure. Typical jobs include getting a scanned marksheet below a portal's cap, squeezing a multi-page application form into an email, or lightening a report before sharing it. The same site offers an [image compressor](/) and a bulk image compressor, both built on the same no-upload approach.

It is, with no catches. You will not meet a paywall after the first file, a cap on pages, a size restriction beyond the 100 MB input limit, or a stamp on the output. We do not ask for an email address or an account. Ads on the page cover our hosting bill, and since your device does the processing, we have no per-file costs to pass on. Whether you compress one certificate or every document for a job application, the price is the same: nothing. There is no paid plan waiting behind the free one.

There is nothing to install. The PDF compressor is a normal web page that loads its compression code (Mozilla's pdf.js and pdf-lib) into the browser and runs it there. Any current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Samsung Internet will do, on Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS or Linux. You can pin the page to your home screen through your browser's Add to Home Screen option if you like a one-tap icon, but it still fetches the page over the internet each time, so it is not an offline app. We publish nothing in any app store, and no software needs updating.

Start by dropping your PDF into the upload box or tapping browse to select it; the tool opens the file on your device. Next, check the Target Size field. On a preset page the number is already filled in, but you can change it and switch the unit between kB, MB and %. Tick black & white if the file is a scan and you want extra savings. Then press the compress button. The result panel shows the first page before and after, the new size, the percentage saved, the page count and which method was used. Press Download to save the file.
