Compress PDF to 200 KB for SSC
Bring your document PDF under the 200 KB limit that many SSC application forms ask for.
Files are optimized losslessly when possible. To guarantee an exact size, larger files are converted to images, which can soften text and remove the selectable text layer.
Compressing PDFs for SSC applications
Staff Selection Commission application forms typically restrict supporting documents to small file sizes, with 200 KB being a common ceiling for PDF uploads. Requirements differ across exams and notices, so confirm the precise limit on the official SSC portal for your exam.
With KiloPDF the compression happens locally, so your certificates and personal documents stay on your device instead of being sent to a server.
Drop your file in, keep the 200 KB target, and download. Already under 200 KB? We return your original without touching its quality.

Frequently asked questions
Is 200 KB the right size for SSC applications?
200 KB is a commonly requested target, but limits vary and change over time. Check the exact requirement on the relevant portal or provider before you upload or send.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device, which makes this safe for KYC, banking, and government documents.
How do you hit exactly 200 KB?
We re-encode each page as an image and search across quality and resolution settings until the rebuilt PDF lands at or just under 200 KB, keeping the best quality that still fits.
Is it really free with no watermark?
Yes. No sign-in, no per-hour task caps, no watermark, and no file-count limits, unlike most incumbents.
Will the text stay selectable?
When the file already fits or can be optimized losslessly, text stays sharp and selectable. To guarantee a smaller exact size we rasterize the pages, which is exactly what portal uploads need. If you need selectable text, keep your original.
