Frequently Asked Questions

Which portals use a 300KB limit?

UPSC's online application accepts photo and signature uploads in a range that has gone up to around 300KB in recent cycles, and several state PSC and university portals use 300KB for single documents. Limits change between notifications, so confirm the figure in the current year's instructions.

How much quality do I lose going to 300KB?

Very little for typical 1-5 page documents. 300KB is a comfortable target for scanned certificates and ID proofs - text remains crisp and photos stay clearly recognisable.

Are my exam documents kept private?

Completely. EverydayPDF processes the file locally in your browser with zero uploads, so your certificates and ID documents never touch a server.

The portal rejected my file even under 300KB - why?

Portals often check format and dimensions too, not just size. Confirm the required file type (PDF vs JPG), page size, and pixel dimensions in the portal instructions; if it wants an image, use our image compressor instead.
