How to Compress and Reduce PDF File Size on Android for Government & Job Portals
Optimize bulky scanned PDFs down to 100KB, 200KB, or 500KB thresholds without losing text sharpness or certificate readability.
Most state and central government portals (TNPSC, SSC, TNEA, IBPS) set strict upload ceilings of 200KB to 500KB per document. High-resolution phone camera scans frequently produce 5MB–10MB files that get rejected on submission.
Offline compression re-encodes embedded image streams from uncompressed 300 DPI to screen-ready 150 DPI and removes unneeded PDF object overhead without blurring critical certificate numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will compressing a PDF make the text unreadable?
Vector text and fonts remain completely sharp regardless of compression because text is stored as mathematics, not pixels. Only photographic background elements are optimized.
