Private, browser-based PDF compressor
Compress PDF Between 100KB and 200KB
Try to place the result within a 100–200KB interval. This range is best-effort; if no render setting lands inside it, the result explains that.

The interactive compressor loads in this page. Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded.
Selected target: 100–200KB. Actual output depends on the PDF and available browser memory.
How the 100–200KB range works
Some forms accept a size band rather than a single maximum. This page tries render settings from clearest to smallest and uses the clearest result that falls within 100KB and 200KB, when one exists.
- The lower and upper bounds are both included in the requested interval.
- If none of the available attempts lands in the band, the tool says so instead of claiming the range was met.
- If the form only sets a maximum, use the 200KB preset instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does my PDF leave my device?
No. PDF.js reads your file in this browser tab and the reduced PDF is assembled locally with pdf-lib. There is no upload endpoint, analytics event, account, or server-side file storage in this tool.
Will the result be exactly under my target?
Not always. A single maximum is best-effort: the tool tries the clearest setting first and uses the first attempt that fits, or the smallest attempt if none fit. The 100–200KB mode uses the clearest attempt in that interval when one exists.
Can I still select and search text?
The current reduction method rasterizes each page into an image. That usually makes a much smaller file, but it removes selectable, searchable text and original document structure. Keep the original if those matter.
What does the quality setting change?
Low keeps more visual detail and usually produces a larger file. Recommended is a practical middle ground. High uses smaller page renders and stronger JPEG compression for tight limits, with a greater chance of visible softness.
What PDFs work best here?
Short, image-heavy PDFs are the best fit. Very large or complex PDFs can use substantial browser memory, and a source that is already small may not shrink further.
Will the result always be between 100KB and 200KB?
No. PDF content can jump between render sizes. The compressor tries its available settings in clarity-first order and clearly reports when none falls inside the requested interval.
