Compress PDF to 200KB for Job Applications & Forms

Many job portals, online application forms, and email systems require PDFs under 200KB. Our free PDF compressor uses aggressive compression to reduce your file size to 200KB or less while maintaining readable quality for resumes, applications, and documents.

  • Job Portals: Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed resume uploads
  • University Applications: College admission portals
  • Government Forms: Various state and central govt applications
  • Corporate Email: Some companies limit attachment sizes
  • CMS Platforms: WordPress, Drupal file upload limits

💡 Pro Tip:

200KB is a sweet spot - small enough for most portals but large enough to maintain good quality for 2-3 page documents like resumes or cover letters!

  2. Select "Medium" to "High" compression level
  3. Click "Compress PDF Now"

What Fits in 200KB?

Text-Heavy Documents:

  • 2-3 page resume with minimal formatting
  • 1-2 page cover letter
  • 3-5 page text document
  • Simple forms with text fields

Documents with Images:

  • 1-2 page document with 1-2 small images
  • Resume with photo (compressed)
  • Certificate or diploma scan

⚠️ Quality Note:

At 200KB, text remains sharp and readable. Images will be compressed but still acceptable for most applications. Avoid using 200KB for high-quality portfolios or image-heavy documents.

Tips for Better Quality at 200KB

  • Start with fewer pages: 2-3 pages work best
  • Minimize images: Use only essential images
  • Use text, not scans: Digital PDFs compress better than scanned documents
  • Remove unnecessary elements: Delete extra pages, headers, footers
  • Optimize before compressing: Remove high-res images first
