Frequently asked questions
Is 200KB enough for a readable document scan?
For an A4 page, usually yes, at about 1600 pixels on the longest side. For very small text, zoom in on the result to check.
Why is the file slightly under 200KB?
That margin covers different ways of counting a kilobyte, so the file passes on any site.
Is it safe to compress scans of documents here?
Yes. Compression runs in your browser, so we receive neither the file nor its contents.
How do I compress a document scan to 200KB?
Choose the scan or a photo of the document above. The page scales it to 1600 pixels on the long side and picks the JPEG quality so the file lands under 200KB.
Can I compress a PDF to 200KB here?
No, this page works with images: JPEG, PNG, WebP and HEIC. A photo or scan of the page saved as an image will work.
How do I check the size of the result?
The sizes before and after are shown above the comparison as soon as the photo is ready. The file you download is exactly that size.
