Frequently Asked Questions
Which uploads commonly cap at 1MB?
Certificate and ID-proof uploads on exam portals (UPSC document uploads are commonly up to 1MB each), many university admission portals, and various state government services. 1MB is one of the most common single-document limits in India.
Can I compress a 10MB scanned PDF to 1MB?
Usually yes. Scanned PDFs are dominated by images, which compress heavily. A 10x reduction is realistic for colour scans; text stays readable because the compression targets image data, not the text layer.
Do you see or store my documents?
No. Compression happens entirely inside your browser - nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on a server. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
What if I need to combine documents first?
Use the PDF Merge tool to combine your certificates into one file, then compress the merged file to 1MB. Doing it in this order gives the compressor the full picture and better results.
