Which banks enforce the 200KB cap?
SBI YONO, HDFC NetBanking, ICICI iMobile, and Axis Mobile all show 200KB caps on Aadhaar upload during eKYC. Some legacy banks still cap at 100KB; use /compress with High setting in those cases.
Will I need to mask the Aadhaar first?
Depends on the bank's eKYC flow. UIDAI permits masked Aadhaar (first 8 digits hidden) for most KYC. If the bank requires full Aadhaar, skip masking. Use /aadhaar-mask if you need the masked variant.
Does compression remove the digital signature?
No. The UIDAI digital signature is preserved through pdf-lib compression — only redundant data and image streams are reduced.
