Choose a photo or a scan: the tool finds the highest quality that keeps the file under 200 KB. Text on a scanned page stays readable, and you see the size before you download.
Works in your browser: what you type or choose stays on your device and is not uploaded anywhere.

Questions
Will text on a scanned document stay readable?
Usually yes: 200 KB is enough for an A4 page at 1500–2000 px. If the text gets blurry, choose a larger longest side.
I have a PDF scan, not a photo. What now?
This tool works with images. Take a photo or screenshot of the page, compress it here, then combine pages with Photos to PDF.
