Why this size
Why forms ask for a PDF under 200 KB
200 KB is one of the most common PDF limits on job, scholarship and admission portals, and it holds 2 to 4 clear pages of scanned text. Each page gets about 50 to 100 KB, enough for a typed document photographed in good light.
The PDF made here stays under 200,000 bytes, so it passes whether the portal counts a kilobyte as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. Need another limit, such as 250 KB? The image to PDF converter takes any number you type.
| Size limit | Readable A4 pages |
|---|---|
| Under 150 KB | 2 to 3 |
| Under 200 KB (this page) | 2 to 4 |
| Under 300 KB | 3 to 5 |

Checked

How the tool works
Each image becomes one page of a PDF built in your browser, and a PDF you add keeps all its pages, in the order you add the files. With a size limit, the tool first compresses the photos inside the PDF, quality first and size second, while typed text, links and drawings stay as they are, so the text can still be selected. Only if that is not enough is each page drawn with pdf.js (Mozilla, Apache 2.0) and saved as an image, smaller pages before lower quality, until the whole file is under the limit. Nothing is uploaded. Everything happens in your browser; your images are never uploaded.
