Compression Notes
Use Compress to a specific size for portal limits (100KB / 200KB).
Low compression keeps the best readability.
Balanced mode is good for general sharing.
High compression is useful when you only need a smaller file, not an exact KB target.

Compress PDF Online Free — 100KB or 200KB

Large PDFs fail government portals, job applications, and college uploads. PdfPeaks compresses PDF files in your browser by quality level or to a target size such as 100KB or 200KB — keeping text readable while shrinking scans, reports, and presentations for email and cloud sync. Need a Pakistan CNIC, NICOP, or passport photo? Crop to the official size here, then read the photo-size guide.

How It Works

Upload your PDF, then either pick a quality level (low, balanced, or high) or switch to "Compress to a specific size" and choose 100KB, 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, or a custom KB target. The tool analyses images, fonts, and embedded objects. Rerun with a different target if the first pass is still too large.

  • Step 1 — Upload: Drag and drop or browse to select your PDF (up to 100 MB).
  • Step 2 — Choose mode: Quality levels for everyday sharing, or a 100KB / 200KB target for strict portal caps.
  • Step 3 — Download: Compare file size on the results screen and save the compressed PDF.

Common Use Cases

  • Portal uploads: Hit common 100KB and 200KB caps for government, jobs, and admissions.
  • Email attachments: Meet provider size limits without stripping pages.
  • Web publishing: Speed up downloads for brochures and product sheets.
  • Mobile sharing: Send lighter files over messaging apps.
  • Archives: Reduce cloud storage for scan libraries.
