PDF Compressor — Reduce PDF Size, Merge & Extract

Certificate PDF too big for the upload box? Pick the limit, and the tool compresses it — first without any quality loss, then by recompressing pages only if needed. You can also merge files and pull out just the pages a form asks for.

Quick answer

To compress a PDF under 200 KB, choose the PDF, select 200 KB and click Compress. The tool first optimises the file without changing its look; if it is still too large, it converts each page to a compressed image, lowering quality step by step until the PDF fits. Turning on Black & white makes scanned certificates much smaller.

Tips for small but readable PDFs

  • Scan or photograph only the pages the form asks for — every extra page adds size.
  • Black & white keeps text crisp at small sizes; use colour only for photos or stamps that must show colour.
  • If the file cannot reach the limit, extract fewer pages or ask whether the form accepts a JPG instead.
  • Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first (open them and use Print → Save as PDF).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a PDF to under 200 KB?+

Choose the PDF, select 200 KB and click Compress. If the lossless pass is not enough, pages are recompressed until the file fits.

Will the text remain selectable?+

Yes, if the lossless optimisation is enough. When pages have to be recompressed, they become images — still readable, but text is not selectable.

How do I merge several certificates into one PDF?+

Open the Merge tab, add the PDFs or photos, put them in order with the arrows, and click Merge.

Can I take out one page from a PDF?+

Yes. Use Extract pages and type the page numbers, e.g. 2 or 1-3, 5.

Is it safe for Aadhaar and certificates?+

Yes. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to any server.

Does it work on mobile?+

Yes, in Chrome or Safari on Android and iPhone.

Why is my compressed PDF blurry?+

The limit is very small for the number of pages. Choose a higher limit, remove extra pages, or use Black & white.
