Compress PDF to 200KB for a few pages of documents, such as an Aadhaar card front and back, a set of certificates or a filled application form. The tool keeps text as text where it can and only converts pages to images when needed. You can merge PDF files into one first, or sign PDF forms before you upload them.
How to compress PDF to 200KB
- Select the PDF.
- Keep the target at 200 KB, or type a different limit.
- Tap “Compress to 200 KB” and wait while each page is processed.
- Download the result: a PDF under 200 KB. If it says pages were saved as images, the look is the same but text cannot be selected.
Tips for best results
- Combine related documents, such as the front and back of an ID card, into one PDF before compressing to 200 KB.
- Crop away empty margins in your photos before making the PDF, so more of the 200 KB goes to the content.
- Open the compressed PDF on your phone and zoom into small print before uploading.
Frequently asked questions
How do I combine my documents into one PDF under 200 KB?
Merge them first with Merge PDF (or turn photos into a PDF with JPG to PDF), then compress the combined file here. Compressing once at the end gives better quality than compressing every part separately.
Why did it keep my PDF almost unchanged?
Because the lossless clean-up already brought it under 200 KB. That is the best outcome: nothing was converted to images, and text stays searchable.
Is 200 KB enough for an Aadhaar card PDF?
Yes. A single page with the front and back of an Aadhaar or PAN card fits easily in 200 KB with clear text and photo. If your e-Aadhaar is password-protected, unlock it first with its password.
Can I choose colour or black and white?
Yes. Colour is kept by default. Tick “Black and white” to save space on text-only pages; keep colour for documents with photos or coloured stamps.
Does it work offline?
Once the page and its PDF tools have loaded, compression runs entirely on your device, so a weak connection does not slow it down.
