Pick a PDF and get a copy of 200 KB or less. To reach such a small size, pages are saved as images, so text will no longer be selectable. Your file never leaves your device.

Didn’t fit? What to do

Keep only the pages the form asks for: every page takes a share of the 200 KB.
Long documents get less detail per page; split them if the form allows several files.
Black-and-white scans compress better than color photos of documents.
If the form also accepts JPG, a one-page document may look sharper as an image.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I select text after compressing?

To fit in 200 KB, each page is rendered as an image. The document looks the same but is no longer searchable.

Can I compress a scanned PDF to 200 KB?

Yes. Scans are already images, so they lose little extra. Check that small print is still readable before you submit.

Can a 20-page PDF fit in 200 KB?

Sometimes, but each page gets only a small share of the size, enough for plain text at low resolution. Send only the pages the form asks for.
