How to make a PDF under 200 KB

  1. Add your images

    Photos, scans or screenshots, in JPG, PNG or WebP. Several at once is fine.

  2. Put them in order

    Drag the thumbnails or use the arrows. Turn any page that lies on its side.

  3. Keep the limit at 200 KB

    It is already set. Change it if your form allows more or less.

  4. Create and download

    The size shows next to the download button, already under the limit.

What fits in 200 KB

In our tests with phone photos of printed A4 pages, one page kept the full 2,000 pixels the tool works with, about 180 DPI on the page, which stays sharp when zoomed in. Three pages kept about 1,100 pixels each, around 100 DPI and crisp, and five pages about 800 pixels, around 72 DPI and still easy to read.

So 200 KB suits a short document of up to about five pages, or a few photos. Crop away the table and background around each page first, so the space goes to the text.

How the tool stays under the limit

Each page is measured first, so a busy photo gets more of the space than a plain page of text. Then every page is saved at the highest quality its share allows, and made smaller only when quality alone cannot get there, because a slightly smaller page at good quality reads better than a large one full of blocks.

Websites count a kilobyte as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes, so the tool keeps the PDF under the limit counted the smaller way. A PDF it makes under 200 KB passes a 200 KB limit either way.

Tips for a sharper PDF

Photograph documents flat, straight on and in good light, and crop away the table around them. Leave out pages the form does not ask for. If a form wants each document as its own file, tick One PDF per image: every PDF then stays under the limit on its own.

Questions

How do I convert JPG to PDF under 200 KB?

Add your images, keep the limit at 200 KB and choose Create PDF. The PDF you download is already under the limit.

Will the text still be readable?

Yes for up to about five A4 pages. In our tests, ordinary 10 point print was crisp on three pages and easy to read on five.

What if the PDF is still over the limit?

With many pages and a small limit, each page gets only a few kilobytes. The tool shrinks the pages until they fit, and tells you if a PDF stays over even at the lowest useful quality. Remove pages, or split them over two PDFs if the form allows.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Your browser makes the PDF on your device, so the images are never sent to uncrop.si or anyone else. Once the page has loaded, it even works offline.

Can I set a different limit?

Yes. Pick another preset, or type any size in KB or MB.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Open this page in your phone browser, choose the photos from your gallery, and the PDF is saved to your downloads.
