How to compress a file to a specific size
- Add your file. A PDF, or a photo such as a signature or passport picture.

- Download. We keep the best quality that fits and tell you the final size.
Questions people ask
Why do forms ask for 200 KB?
Many government, exam and job portals cap uploads to keep their systems fast. 200 KB is one of the most common limits.
Does it work for scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scans are mostly images, which is exactly what we shrink.
Is there a watermark?
Never.
Why do application forms have size limits?
Government, exam and job portals often accept only small files, for example a photo under 50 KB or a document under 200 KB.
What if my file can't get that small?
We'll tell you the smallest size we could reach. For PDFs, removing pages you don't need helps; for photos, cropping out the background helps.
Does the photo keep its dimensions?
We keep them when possible. If the limit is very small, we also reduce the width and height and show you the final size in pixels.
