Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF to under 200 KB?
Choose Target size, type 200 and press Compress PDF. The tool keeps the sharpest version that fits.
Will the text in my PDF still be searchable?
Yes. Only the pictures inside the PDF are made smaller; text, links and form fields stay as they are. If your limit can only be reached by saving the pages as pictures, the tool does that and tells you, and text in that file can't be selected or searched.
It couldn't reach my limit. What can I do?
Remove pages you don't need, or scan at a lower resolution. Very long documents may not fit small limits while staying readable.
