Target file size

Smaller file mode turns pages into images: text will not be searchable, and interactive forms, links and accessibility tags are lost. Low targets can blur fine print. Any PDF rewrite invalidates digital signatures. Review the downloaded PDF before submitting it.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a PDF to 100 KB?

Choose the PDF, pick 100 KB (or type your own limit) and press Compress. Check the result size and download. For a strict form limit, aim a little below it.

Will the text stay sharp and searchable?

Choose “Preserve text & links” to keep text searchable. “Smaller file” turns pages into images: it reaches lower sizes but text is no longer selectable.

Can every PDF be reduced to 100 KB?

No. It depends on the number of pages and what is on them. If the target is not reached, PixelKaro tells you and gives the smallest result it could make.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Compression runs inside your browser, so the PDF stays on your device.
