how to compress pdf to 100kb
- drop your pdf on the box above, or click it to choose a file.
- pick a target size like 200 kb, or switch to "choose quality" and set dpi and jpeg quality yourself.
- press compress pdf and wait while each page is rebuilt in your browser.
- check the new size and download the smaller pdf.
100 kb is a tight limit, roughly one or two scanned pages at readable quality. single-page documents like an id card, certificate or mark sheet fit easily. a five-page scan usually needs very low settings, and small print may become hard to read.
if the result is blurry, upload fewer pages: use split pdf to keep only the pages the form asks for, or convert each page to its own pdf. scanning in black and white or grayscale before you start also helps a lot, since color scans are about three times larger.

frequently asked questions
can any pdf be compressed to 100 kb?
one or two pages almost always fit. long or very detailed documents may not stay readable at 100 kb. we show the smallest size we can reach and suggest splitting the file if it does not fit.
will the portal accept the compressed file?
yes, the output is a standard pdf that any portal can open. check the result size shown before downloading, since some sites count 100 kb as 100,000 bytes. aim for 95 kb if a site is strict.
is it safe for id cards and certificates?
yes. the file is processed in your browser and never uploaded, so private documents stay on your device.
