Compress PDF for Government Forms — India's #1 Free Tool

Free & secureNo signup requiredFiles never stored

Government e-portals in India — from UMANG and DigiLocker to state-level recruitment boards — have notoriously strict file size limits. This tool helps you compress any official document to fit the required size, whether that's 50KB, 100KB, or 300KB.

Pro Tip: Aadhaar and PAN card scans compress well. For colour passport photos embedded in PDFs, use 'Strong' compression.

How It Works

1

Upload your government document

Supports Aadhaar, PAN, marksheets, certificates, income proof, and more.

2

Pick the right level

Start with 'Balanced'. Switch to 'Strong' if the portal needs under 100KB.

3

Compress

Processed on our secure server and deleted immediately after.

4

Submit to portal

Download and upload directly to the government portal.

Who Uses This

UPSC & SSC Application Portals

Central government exam portals require photo, signature, and certificate uploads under 100KB each. Hit these limits without visiting a cyber cafe.

State Government Schemes

Scholarship, ration card, and welfare scheme portals at the state level often cap document sizes at 200–300KB.

DigiLocker Document Upload

While DigiLocker has generous limits, third-party portals that accept DigiLocker documents sometimes don't. Pre-compress before sharing.

Court & Legal Submissions

e-Filing portals for high courts and district courts require affidavits and supporting documents in compressed PDF format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which government portals is this tool compatible with?+
All of them. Our compressor produces standard PDF files that are accepted by UPSC, SSC, NTA, state PSC boards, UMANG, CSC portals, income tax e-filing, and all other Indian government websites.
Can I compress an Aadhaar card PDF?+
Yes. Aadhaar PDFs downloaded from the UIDAI portal compress very well. Even the password-protected version can be compressed after you unlock it first.
Does compression affect document validity?+
No. Compression does not alter any text, signatures, or data in the PDF. The document remains legally valid after compression.
Is my personal data safe?+
Absolutely. Files are processed over encrypted HTTPS and deleted from our servers immediately after your download. We cannot see or read your documents.
What if the portal rejects my compressed PDF?+
Make sure the PDF isn't password-protected after compression. If the portal shows a size error, try the 'Strong' compression level for a smaller output.
