Compress a PDF for Indian exam forms
UPSC, SSC, RRB and IBPS forms often allow only 200 KB per document, sometimes 100 KB. The target is set to 0.19 MB (about 195 KB); use 0.09 for a 100 KB field.

Before you upload to Indian exam forms
- Always follow the size in your own exam notification; it changes between recruitments.
- A one-page scan fits under 200 KB easily. Multi-page documents may need the pages you really need only.
- Photos and signatures usually have their own JPG rules. This tool is for the PDF documents.
Still over 200 KB?
Compression shrinks images. A long file that is mostly text can stay above the limit; these get it through.
