Compress PDF to 100 KB
100 KB is a hard target. Short scans sometimes fit. Long text PDFs often should not.
- No upload
- No watermark
- No login

Pages become pictures, so text will not stay selectable. If the limit would make the page unreadable, you get an error instead of a bad file.
Your files never leave this device. There is no account and no watermark on the download.
Expect a smaller page
The ceiling starts at 100 KB. Greyscale helps. Read the preview at a large zoom. If the tool says the limit cannot be met cleanly, believe it and use 200 KB or fewer pages.
Same rules as the 200 KB page
20 pages, 30 MB, no upload, pages become pictures. See Compress PDF to 200 KB for the longer explanation.
FAQ
How do I compress a PDF to 100KB?
Choose the PDF and press Compress. Check the preview. Download only if the words you need are still readable.
Why did it fail?
The file was still over 100 KB at the lowest quality we allow. That is a successful safety stop, not a broken button.
Is 100 KB realistic for a marksheet?
A one-page scan sometimes is. A multi-page colour scan often is not. Try greyscale, or a higher limit.
