How to get a PDF under 200KB

  1. Drop the PDF

    Scans, certificates, statements or reports. The file is read on your device only.

  2. Keep the goal

    The goal is set to 200KB. DigiCompress tries gentle settings first and only gets stronger if it must.

  3. Download

    You see the final size and whether the goal was met, then the file is wiped from the page.

How DigiCompress chooses the setting

Instead of one fixed “strong compression”, DigiCompress tries Light, then Balanced, then Strong, then Extreme, and keeps the first result under 200KB. That way a document that only needs a little shrinking isn’t degraded unnecessarily.

Everything happens on your device, which matters for the documents these portals ask for: certificates, IDs, bank letters and transcripts.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Email hello@digicompress.com.

Can I compress a scanned PDF to 200KB?

Usually yes for a few pages. Scans are mostly images, which compress very well.

What if it still doesn’t fit?

You’ll see the smallest size reached. Try removing pages the portal doesn’t need, or scanning in greyscale.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No — it never leaves your device.

Is DigiCompress free?

Yes. You can shrink 3 files a day without an account. Sign in with Google or an email link to use it as much as you like. We don’t sell anything inside the tool, and we never ask for payment details.

Ready when you are.

Drop your file into the compressor above. Nothing is uploaded — ever.
