Open "Compress PDF to 100 KB" on News Appite, choose the PDF and press Compress PDF. The tool first optimises the file losslessly and, if needed, lowers image quality step by step until it fits. Tick "greyscale" for scans to reach small limits with readable text.
Why PDFs become large
Text-only PDFs are small. Size comes from images: phone scans, photos of documents and certificates saved at high resolution. A single phone photo of a page can be 2โ4 MB, so a 3-page scan easily becomes 10 MB.

Compress to an exact limit
- Open Compress PDF to 100 KB (or 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB).
- Choose the PDF and check the target; you can type any size in KB.
- For scanned documents tick Convert to greyscale; it often halves the size.
- Press Compress PDF and download the result. The final size is shown next to the file.
If it still will not fit
- Remove extra pages with Delete PDF Pages: blank backs of scans are common.
- Rescan smarter: the Document Scanner in black & white mode creates very small, sharp pages.
- Split the document if the portal allows several uploads.
Will the text stay readable?
If lossless optimisation is enough, the PDF is unchanged in quality. When pages are re-rendered as images to hit a very small limit, text stays readable on screen, but it is no longer selectable. Keep your original file, and aim for a limit a little below the maximum (for example 90 KB for a 100 KB limit).
