Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a PDF to 200KB without losing readability?

Our compressor reduces embedded image resolution while preserving all text and layout. For scanned documents, it recompresses images at an optimal clarity level.

Why does my exam portal reject PDFs over 200KB?

Government portals enforce strict file size limits to handle millions of applicants. Common limits are 100KB, 200KB, and 500KB for certificates and marksheets.

Is client-side PDF compression secure?

Yes, 100% private. Files are processed in your phone's memory and are never uploaded across the network.
