Marksheets, degree certificates, experience letters and bank or KYC documents are often requested as a PDF under 200 KB. That is twice the room of a 100 KB limit, which makes a real difference: one to three scanned pages usually stay clearly legible. Fileixa tries lossless compression first and keeps that result if it fits. If not, it turns the pages into images at gradually lower resolution and stops at the first version under 200 KB, so quality is only reduced as much as the limit requires.
200 KB limits are common for university and job application documents, such as marksheets, certificates and experience letters, and for some banking and KYC uploads.
At 200 KB a few pages of text or one to two scanned pages usually stay clearly legible, which makes it far more forgiving than 100 KB.
First the PDF is recompressed losslessly, which keeps text selectable and images untouched. If that already fits, you are done with no loss of quality. If not, the pages are turned into compressed images at progressively lower resolution and quality until the file fits, and the smallest version that fits is kept.
That second step is lossy: text in the result is no longer selectable, and fine print gets softer as the target shrinks. The tool always reports whether the target was reached; if even the strongest pass cannot fit, you get the smallest file it could make, labelled as a miss rather than passed off as a success.
A text PDF made from Word can hold dozens of pages in 200 KB. For scans, plan on one to three pages staying sharp; beyond that, fine print starts to blur.
Only if the form wants a single file. If it accepts several uploads, compress each certificate to 200 KB on its own: every page then gets the full budget instead of a share of it.
The file you upload is deleted automatically within about an hour and is not used for anything else. The privacy page explains how long results are kept.
Combine documents in the right order, remove unnecessary pages, then reduce the final PDF size without assuming that merging automatically compresses it.
