How to Compress PDF for Govt Form Upload

Use our PDF compressor tool. Upload your PDF, choose compression level, and download the reduced file. Processing happens in your browser—documents are not stored on our servers. Ensure the compressed PDF remains readable and meets the portal's size limit.

Many SSC, UPSC, railway, and state recruitment portals limit PDF uploads to 1MB, 2MB, or 5MB. Check the official notification. For documents that exceed the limit, compress using our tool. For photo size limits (e.g. 100KB), use our resize image tools instead.

Light to moderate compression usually keeps text and images readable. Aggressive compression can reduce image quality inside the PDF. For certificates and forms, use moderate compression to balance size and clarity. Our tool lets you choose the level.
