Compress Scanned Documents for Government Portals

Most Indian recruitment and admission portals like SSC, UPSC, NTA, IBPS, and state boards strictly restrict document uploads to under 100KB, 200KB, or 500KB. Scanned PDFs straight from scanners are often 2MB–10MB, causing upload errors. Our compression engine re-samples resolution to keep text crisp while shrinking file size dramatically.

How to Compress PDF in 3 Easy Steps

  1. 01 Upload or drag your large PDF file into the drop zone.
  2. 02 Choose your desired compression preset (Recommended or Strong).
  3. 03 Click "Compress & Download PDF" to get your optimized document immediately.
