See the final size and how much was saved, then download a copy ready to upload to your form.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to 200KB?
Add your PDF, choose the 200 KB target (or type a custom size), and press Compress. The tool works out the highest quality that still fits under 200 KB and shows the final size before you download, so you know it will pass your form's upload limit.
Does compressing reduce the quality?
Some, yes — that's how any size reduction works. The tool searches for the best quality that still fits your limit rather than compressing blindly, so pages stay readable. If the target is very tight for the number of pages, it tells you honestly instead of handing you an unreadable file.
Which PDFs does this work best on?
Scanned and photo-based documents — certificates, mark sheets, ID proofs — which is exactly what form uploads usually are. Pages are rebuilt as images, so text-only PDFs made from Word will compress less and their text will no longer be selectable. Keep your original if you need searchable text.
What size limit do exam forms use?
Most Indian government and exam portals ask for documents under about 100–200 KB, and some (like UPSC) allow up to around 300 KB. The quick-set buttons cover the common ones, but always confirm the exact limit in your official notification.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is opened and rebuilt entirely inside your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, so even sensitive documents like ID proofs stay private.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no watermark. Compress as many PDFs as you like.
