Compress PDF Online in India — Free, Instant, Private
Overview
Indian government portals — UPSC, NPS, income tax, EPFO, university admissions — routinely cap uploads at 200KB, 500KB, or 1MB. PDF Mavericks runs entirely in your browser, so your documents never leave your device or get routed through foreign servers. Works on Jio, Airtel, and BSNL connections, even on slower networks, because no large file transfer is required for processing.
How to Use This Tool
Open PDF Mavericks on any browser — Chrome, Firefox, or Safari on Android or iPhone. Upload your PDF, select 'High' compression for strict portal limits, and download the result. For DigiLocker documents or Aadhaar-linked files, use 'Medium' compression to stay under the limit while keeping text legible for verification.
