300 KB is a common limit for documents like experience letters, address proofs and project reports. It leaves enough room for several readable pages. Add your PDF and click Compress PDF — the best quality that fits is chosen automatically.

## Tips

- Up to about 6–8 scanned pages usually fit with good quality.
- Text-only PDFs exported from Word often fit with the Light level, which keeps text selectable.

## FAQ

### How do I compress a PDF to 300 KB?

Add the PDF, keep the pre-set 300 KB limit and click Compress PDF. Check the size shown next to the download button.

### Is 300 KB enough for a 10-page document?

Often yes for text documents. Ten scanned colour pages may need black & white mode to stay sharp.

### How do I reduce a PDF to 200 KB (or 100 KB)?

Add your PDF, choose "Exact size (KB / MB)", type 200 (or 100) and click Compress PDF. The tool tries different quality settings and gives you the best-looking version that fits under your limit.

### Which compression level should I choose?

Recommended works for most files. Choose Extreme if you need the smallest possible size, Light if you must keep text selectable (for example a contract), or Exact size when a website gives you a maximum file size.

### Why can't I select text after compressing?

The Recommended, Extreme and Exact size levels save each page as an optimised image — that's what makes scans and photos so much smaller. If you need selectable text, use the Light level.
