Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Job application systems and visa portals (such as VFS Global) frequently require PDF uploads under 200KB. This tool compresses your file to that exact limit without uploading it anywhere — everything happens locally in your browser. It finds the highest possible quality that still keeps the file under 200KB, so your CV, cover letter, or supporting documents look as sharp as the size cap allows. A 200KB budget is more generous than the typical 100KB exam limit, which means scanned text and photos usually stay crisper while still meeting the portal requirement. Because nothing is sent to a server, you can safely compress passports, bank statements, and other personal paperwork, and there is no account to create, no software to install, and no watermark stamped on the result.
