Tips for staying under 100 KB
- Crop photos to just the document before adding them — less background means more detail where it matters.
- Take the photo in good light; dark, grainy photos compress badly.
- Put fewer pages in each PDF. At 100 KB, one or two pages give the most readable result.
A 100 KB limit is common on exam registration, scholarship and recruitment portals for uploading certificates, ID proof and signatures.

Frequently asked questions
Will the PDF really be under 100 KB?
In almost all cases, yes. If you add many large photos, the tool will tell you if it could not get under 100 KB while keeping them readable — then split them into two PDFs.
Will the text in my document still be readable?
Yes for typical documents and ID cards. The tool keeps the highest quality that fits the limit.
Is it free and private?
Yes. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
