Frequently Asked Questions
How does the PDF compressor work?
The tool loads your PDF in the browser, creates a clean copy by stripping unused objects, metadata, and bloat accumulated from editing software. This often reduces file size significantly for documents exported from Word, Google Docs, or scanned files with extra metadata.
Can I compress a PDF to exactly 100KB?
The tool removes metadata and unused objects to reduce size. If the PDF contains high-resolution embedded images, it may not reach very small targets without re-encoding those images. The tool will show you the actual compressed size and warn you if it exceeds your target.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your PDF never leaves your device. We never see, store, or access your files.
Which government exams require compressed PDFs?
Many exams like SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, IBPS PO, IBPS Clerk, UPSC, Railway RRB, and state PSC exams require uploading documents (signature, photo, certificates) as PDFs within specific size limits — often 100KB to 500KB.
What if the compressed PDF is still too large?
If your PDF contains high-resolution scanned images, browser-based compression alone may not be enough. Try scanning at a lower DPI (150 instead of 300), or use a desktop tool like Ghostscript for deeper image recompression.
