When you need a PDF under 200 KB
200 KB is a common cap on job portals, university admission forms and online visa and residency applications, usually per document: a resume, a passport copy, a degree certificate, a bank letter. It is enough for a few clear scanned pages, or one colour page photographed with a phone. If your form allows 300 KB or 500 KB, set that limit instead: the tool resizes the PDF to whatever size you type.
Phone photos are the usual problem. A single picture of a document from a modern phone is often 2 to 5 MB, so a PDF built from photos starts far above the limit. The tool shrinks the images inside the PDF step by step and stops as soon as the file is under 200 KB, so it keeps as much quality as the limit allows.
