Resize and compress PDFs to a 200KB target — useful when forms specify both dimensional and file-size limits. Browser-based, no upload.
'Resizing' a PDF can mean two things: changing the page dimensions (A4 → letter, full → half-size) or reducing file size. When forms specify '200KB max', they usually mean file size — and that's what this tool targets through object-stream compression.
Choose your PDF. The tool applies pdf-lib's object-stream compression and saves a smaller version. For dimensional resizing (changing page size), use a desktop tool like Adobe Acrobat or LibreOffice Draw — those can change physical page dimensions, which the browser can't easily.
Use it for forms that cap PDF size at 200KB — common for Indian government and university portals. For dimensional changes (A4 → letter), use a desktop PDF editor.
If you need exact A4-or-Letter pages, set the page size in the source application before exporting to PDF. Re-resizing dimensions after the fact often causes content cropping or scaling artifacts. Get it right at the source.
Functionally yes — both apply lossless compression. Dimensional resizing isn't supported in-browser.
Use Adobe Acrobat (Print → PDF with new page size) or LibreOffice Draw.
No — the tool creates a new file. Your original is unchanged.
