We tested it: three PDFs compressed to 300 KB
Tested on October 28, 2026 with a CV with a photo (3 pages, 1.3 MB), a phone scan of a certificate (4 pages, 1.3 MB) and a brochure full of photos (6 pages, 3.6 MB). ppi: pixels per inch of the redrawn pages.
| After | ppi | How it reads | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CV, 3 pages | 282 KB | 120 | Sharp, small print too |
| Scan, 4 pages | 284 KB | 120 | Sharp, small print too |
| Brochure, 6 pages | 252 KB | 96 | Sharp, small print too |
At 300 KB the 4-page scan reads as “sharp, small print too” at 120 ppi. In Black and white it came out the same, at 284 KB, at the same 120 ppi, so keeping colour costs almost nothing.
Typed documents of ten to fifteen pages, or about eight scanned pages, fit under 300 KB. How the PDF compressor works.
How many pages fit in 300 KB?
| Pages | 300 KB |
|---|---|
| Typed pages (no photos) | 10–15 |
| Scanned pages, still clear | 8 |
A 300 KB limit leaves room for a complete document rather than single pages: a degree certificate with its mark sheets, an experience letter with its annexures, or a signed application form with a photo ID attached. See the official limits for SSC, IBPS, SBI, NEET, JEE and GATE.
Tips for a clear, small PDF
- Mark sheets in colour usually fit two or three to a 300 KB file, keeping seals and signatures readable.
- Several certificates? Merge them first with Merge PDF, then compress the combined file.
- Typed PDFs reach 300 KB losslessly, so links and text stay as they were.
