## Answer

Use the compressor below, pre-set to 73 KB so the file passes a 75 KB limit either way. **One page stays sharp**; **two to three plain pages** usually fit at the lowest setting.

## What fits comfortably

One page at good quality, or two plain text pages.

## What is squeezed

About two to three plain pages at the lowest setting.

## Context

75 KB shows up on forms that sit between the common 50 KB and 100 KB caps — often a single certificate or mark sheet with a little more room than 50 KB.

Born-digital text PDFs may fit with the lossless first pass alone.

## Tips

- **Extract only the required page** with [Extract pages](https://mypdf.space/tools/extract-pages).
- **Avoid dark table backgrounds** when photographing documents.
- **Start from the original**, not a previously compressed file.

## FAQ

### How do I get a PDF under 75 KB?

Open this page, drop the file, and press Compress. The tool is already set to 73 KB.

### Will text stay searchable?

Yes when the original had text. Re-rendered pages get an invisible searchable overlay from the original positions.

### Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser.
