About This PDF Tool
100KB is often the best starting point for scanned PDFs because it preserves readability. Many portals accept a 100KB document even when they keep image uploads smaller, so it is a common target for certificates, ID scans, and supporting documents.
If you are compressing for SSC or Railway applications, use this page first and only go down to 50KB or 20KB when the portal explicitly demands it. This reduces the risk of unreadable text that can cause verification issues later.
For multi-page PDFs, focus on keeping the scan clean: crop extra margins before scanning and avoid glossy photos that increase size. Then compress and double-check clarity before uploading.
