Reduce a PDF to 100KB or under right in your browser — no upload, no signup, no watermark. A 100KB cap is usually a strict upload limit on a government portal, job application form, or exam registration site. Drop in your PDF and the tool compresses images and streams inside it until it meets the target.
Why compress a PDF to 100KB?
Portals that ask for a document "under 100KB" reject anything larger outright, and a scanned page can easily be several megabytes. Downscaling the embedded scans and re-encoding them is the only reliable way to hit 100KB without deleting pages. This tool targets the 100KB ceiling specifically instead of applying a one-size-fits-all squeeze.
How the compression works
PDF size is dominated by embedded images — scans, photos, and screenshots. The compressor re-samples those images to a sensible resolution and re-encodes them, strips redundant metadata, and rebuilds the file. Text stays selectable and vector graphics stay crisp; only the heavy raster content is reduced. You see the resulting file size before you download, so you can confirm it landed at or below 100KB.
Private and free
Your PDF is processed on your device — it never touches a server, which matters for contracts, IDs, tax forms, and medical records. There's no account and no watermark stamped on the output. Need to go the other way and split or convert instead? Use our image-to-PDF tool to build a lean PDF from scratch.
