Frequently Asked Questions

Why do exam portals have a 200KB PDF limit?

Government portals process millions of applications. A 200KB limit keeps server load manageable while ensuring documents are readable. Most certificates and marksheets can be compressed to under 200KB without losing readability.

Will compression make my PDF unreadable?

No. Our compressor reduces file size by optimizing images within the PDF and removing metadata, not by degrading text quality. Text-based PDFs stay crisp. Image-heavy PDFs (scanned documents) may show slight quality reduction but remain readable.

Can I compress a scanned certificate to 200KB?

Yes. Scanned documents are typically 1-5MB. Our tool can reduce them to under 200KB. If the original scan has unnecessary high resolution (600+ DPI), the compression works even better.

Does my PDF get uploaded to any server?

No. All compression happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your documents never leave your computer. This is critical for sensitive documents like Aadhaar, PAN, and certificates.
