About Compress PDF to 200 KB

This preset sets a 200 KB target, a common limit for application portals and online forms. QPDF tries progressively stronger settings until the file fits, keeping as much quality as possible.

How to use it

  1. Select your PDF, or drag it onto the drop area.
  2. Keep the 200 KB target or adjust it.
  3. Compress and download the smaller PDF.

Your file stays on your device

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory, and saved back to your device — it is never uploaded to QPDF or anyone else. Once this page has loaded, the tool also works with your internet connection switched off.

Good to know

  • Image quality is reduced as needed to meet the target. Review the output, especially for scanned identity documents.
