No account creation is required. You can start using our tools immediately without providing any personal information or going through a registration process.
File Processing
How does the compression work?
Our tool uses advanced compression algorithms to reduce PDF file sizes while maintaining document quality. All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring your files never leave your device for maximum privacy and security.
What file formats are supported?
We support PDF files for compression, and JPG/PNG files for conversion to PDF. Our tool can handle various PDF types including text documents, images, and mixed-content files.
What's the maximum file size I can upload?
Our tool can handle files up to 50MB in size. Most documents fall well within this limit, making it suitable for virtually all PDF compression and conversion needs.
How accurate is the 200KB targeting?
Our algorithm is highly accurate and can compress most files to within 1-2KB of the target size. The exact final size may vary slightly depending on the original content, but it will be very close to your target.
Privacy & Security
Are my files safe and private?
Absolutely. All file processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side technology. Your files are never uploaded to our servers or any external service, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What happens to my files after processing?
Since processing happens locally in your browser, your files remain on your device throughout the entire process. No copies are created on our servers, and you have full control over your documents at all times.
Can you access or see my documents?
No, we cannot see, access, or store your documents. Our privacy-first approach means all processing occurs on your device, and we have no technical ability to view your files.
Technical Support
Which browsers are supported?
Our tool works on all modern browsers including Chrome (90+), Firefox (88+), Safari (14+), and Edge (90+). For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser.
Why is my PDF not compressing to exactly 200KB?
Some PDFs contain elements that are difficult to compress without significant quality loss. Our algorithm prioritizes maintaining readability while getting as close as possible to your target size. Most files will be within 1-2KB of the target.
The tool isn't working. What should I do?
First, ensure you're using a supported browser and have JavaScript enabled. Clear your browser cache and try again. If problems persist, try using a different browser or contact our support team.
Can I compress multiple files at once?
Currently, our tool processes one file at a time to ensure optimal performance and accuracy. This approach allows us to provide the best compression results for each individual document.
Use Cases
Why do I need to compress PDFs to 200KB?
Many government portals, job application systems, and online forms have strict file size limits, often set at 200KB. Our tool helps you meet these requirements without compromising document quality or readability.
Will compressed PDFs work on government portals?
Yes, our compressed PDFs maintain full compatibility with government portals and application systems. We ensure that all PDF standards are preserved during the compression process.
Can I use this for job applications?

What if the compressed PDF quality is too low?
