What fits in 200 KB
There is room for about two to four scanned pages at readable quality. A single page has plenty of room and should look close to the original.
Uploading the front and back of an ID? Scan both onto one page. One page with two small cards takes far less room than two full pages.

FAQ
Will the text in my PDF still be selectable?
Yes. Typed words, links and vector lines are copied through untouched, and only embedded pictures change. A scan is itself a picture, so it never had selectable text.
Is a 200 KB limit 200,000 or 204,800 bytes?
Sites differ, so this tool uses the stricter one: 200,000 bytes. The file passes under either count.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Compression runs in this tab.
Will it work on a password-protected PDF?
No. Remove the password in the program that made the file, then try again.
