How to use PDF Compressor (KB)
Reduce a PDF for a form upload by choosing a quality level or a target size. The tool offers 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB and custom target choices; image-based target compression supports up to 60 pages.
How it works

PDF Compressor (KB) FAQs
Answers about formats, limits and getting better results.
How do I compress a PDF to 200 KB?
Upload the PDF, choose 200 KB and select Compress PDF. The tool tries to shrink it without losing quality first.
Will the text stay selectable?
If the lossless step is enough, yes. When a small target needs the image method, pages become images and text is no longer selectable.
What if it can't reach my target?
You'll see the closest size it could reach. Try a higher target, or split the document first.
