This page starts at 100 KB, but you can pick any other size from 10 KB to 100 MB in one click.
Same Pages and Layout

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about compressing a PDF to 100 KB.
Upload your PDF, check that the target says 100 KB and click Compress PDF. When it's ready, click Download. It's free and takes a few seconds.
Most 1–3 page documents fit in 100 KB. A text-only resume or letter of a few pages usually fits well. If your file has scanned pages or photos, aim for 1–2 pages.
Text stays sharp and easy to read at 100 KB. Photos and scanned pages get a little softer, but stay clear enough for most forms. If a typed document can't fit, its pages may be saved as grayscale or black & white images (still readable, but the text can't be selected). Your page size and layout never change.
Yes, whenever your file can get that small and stay readable. The tool never goes over 100 KB on purpose — it finds the best quality that still fits. If a file can't reach it, you get the smallest readable version and a clear message.
For files up to 20 pages, the pages are automatically saved as grayscale or sharp black & white images, which are much smaller. The text stays readable but can't be selected. If it still doesn't fit, keep only the pages you need with Split PDF and try again.
100 KB is a classic limit on recruitment, exam and bank portals: big enough for a one- to three-page document, small enough to keep servers fast when lakhs of people apply.
