Compress PDF →Frequently Asked Questions
Can every PDF compress to 200KB?
Most text-based PDFs reach 200KB on the High setting. Heavily scanned image PDFs may need additional steps — split into smaller sections or reduce scan resolution before compressing.
Is the compressed file accepted on the official portal?
Yes. The output is a standard PDF with the same page structure, just smaller. Output meets UPSC online application requirements.
Does compression remove text or images?
No. Compression targets image metadata, redundant data, and re-encodes embedded images at lower DPI. Text and structure stay intact.
