Frequently asked questions

Which documents do these portals usually ask for?

Typically an identity proof, an address proof and a photograph. Each has its own size limit, and they are not always the same — read the instruction page rather than assuming one limit applies to all.

My file is 6MB from my phone. Will it reach 250KB?

For a single page, almost certainly. Phone photographs of documents compress very well because most of their size is sensor noise rather than detail.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The whole process runs in your browser using your own device's processing power. The file never leaves your device, which matters for identity and financial documents.

Is there a watermark or a sign-up?

Neither. The tool is free to use with no account and adds nothing to your document.

When you need a 250KB PDF

250KB is the sort of allowance used by NVSP voter-ID services, state e-District portals and ESIC. These forms usually want proof documents — address proof, age proof, identity proof — scanned and uploaded one at a time.

Proof documents scan badly, and that is the problem

Address and identity proofs are usually photographed rather than scanned, often in poor light, which produces a large file with a lot of noise. Noise is expensive to store, so these files are frequently several megabytes for a single page. That is exactly the case this tool handles best.

Keep the original

Compression is one-way. Keep the original scan on your device in case the portal later asks for a clearer copy, or in case the upload has to be redone at a different size.

Upload one document per field

These portals usually provide a separate upload box for each proof, each with its own limit. Merging everything into one PDF is a common cause of rejection even when the total size is within bounds. Compress and upload each document into the field it belongs to.

Check your portal's actual limit

Upload limits change between notifications and differ by document type, so treat 250KB as the size you were asked for rather than a universal rule. The instruction sheet on your application portal is the authority; if it names a different figure, use the matching page below.

Other sizes: 50KB · 100KB · 150KB · 200KB · 300KB · 500KB · 1MB · 2MB
