DMCA Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

We respect the work of writers, designers, and photographers. If you believe something on our website infringes your copyright, this page shows you exactly how to tell us and what happens next.

First, what we host and what we do not

This matters, so let us be clear about it.

Our compressor runs inside each visitor’s browser. Files that people compress never upload to our servers. As a result, we do not host, store, or share any user files. We cannot remove a file that we never received.

So, a copyright notice to us can only cover content we publish ourselves, such as:

  • Text in our guides and blog posts
  • Images, screenshots, and graphics on our pages
  • Our page design and code

If you believe someone used our tool to compress your work without permission, please contact that person directly. In that situation, we have no copy of the file and no record of who compressed it.

How to send a copyright notice

We follow the notice and takedown process of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), set out in 17 U.S.C. § 512. We also accept notices under the copyright laws of other countries, such as India’s Copyright Act, 1957.

Email your notice to compresspdfto200kb@gmail.com with “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.

What your notice must include

The DMCA lists six elements. A notice without them is not valid, and we may not be able to act on it. Please include:

  1. Your signature. A typed full name works as an electronic signature.
  2. The original work. Describe the copyrighted work you own, and link to where it appears officially if you can.
  3. The exact location on our site. Give the full URL of each page, and describe the specific text or image.
  4. Your contact details. Include your name, postal address, phone number, and email address.
  5. A good faith statement. For example: “I have a good faith belief that the use of this material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
  6. An accuracy statement. For example: “The information in this notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.”

A ready to use template

To save you time, copy and fill in this outline:

  • Copyright owner: [full name or company]
  • Original work: [description and link]
  • Infringing URL on compresspdfto200kb.com: [full URL]
  • What exactly to remove: [paragraph, image, or section]
  • Contact: [address, phone, email]
  • Good faith statement: [as above]
  • Accuracy statement under penalty of perjury: [as above]
  • Signature: [typed full name] and date

What happens after you send a notice

Here is our process, step by step:

  1. We confirm that we received your notice, usually within two working days.
  2. Next, we check that the notice includes all six elements.
  3. If it does, we remove or disable the material promptly, normally within seven days.
  4. Finally, if we published content supplied by someone else, we tell that person about the removal.

How to send a counter notice

If we removed content you supplied and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Include:

  1. Your signature, either physical or typed
  2. A description of the removed content and the URL where it appeared
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the content was removed by mistake or misidentification
  4. Your name, address, and phone number
  5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice

After we receive a valid counter notice, we forward it to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 to 14 working days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the content.

Think before you file

A false claim can cause real harm. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may have to pay damages. So, if you are unsure whether a use counts as infringement, consider getting legal advice first.
