Getting a PDF under 200 KB
Visa and ID portals often ask for a passport page, a bank statement or a photo ID under 200 KB. A one or two page scan usually gets there at a resolution that is still easy to read.
We try a lossless cleanup first. If the file is still too big, we step the page images down in resolution and JPEG quality together and keep the gentlest step that fits under 200,000 bytes, so it passes however the portal counts a kilobyte.
Tips
- Zoom in on the result before you upload. Small print like passport numbers and dates is what suffers first.
- If a long statement will not fit, check whether the portal only needs the pages it asks for.
- Filling in a form PDF? Fill it and save it first. The stronger settings can flatten fillable fields.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file
A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.
- 2
Pick your limit
Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.
- 3
Download it
If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
What happens to my file?
It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.
Will it look worse?
We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.
What if my file cannot get that small?
You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.
Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?
Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
