Brings a PDF under 200 KB: a scanned certificate, mark sheet or ID proof for an exam or government portal. Add the PDF and choose Compress PDF; the result says how small it got and what changed, and you can read the pages at 100% before downloading. The PDF is compressed on your device and never uploaded.

How to use it

Every visit starts at Target size with Max size 200 KB and no minimum. A portal that also sets a minimum needs Min size; any other limit works the same way, by changing Max size. Greyscale images and the choice of Level are remembered on this device apart from Compress PDF.

Text, fonts, links and form fields are kept: only the images in the PDF are saved again, at one JPG quality and one resolution for every page, the sharpest that fits, down to 72 DPI. A PDF already under the size is compressed only without loss, and the result says so.

When even 72 DPI does not fit, the result gives the smallest size reached and offers to save each page as an image, down to 72 DPI: that reaches sizes the original cannot, but text can then no longer be selected. A PDF that is mostly text, whose fonts alone are over the size, says so; split it into parts with Split PDF if the portal takes more than one file.

Examples

A 200 KB limit

With the defaults, the PDF comes out at no more than 200,000 bytes (200 KB), counting 1,000 bytes per KB, so it passes a portal that counts 1,024 too.

An NTA certificate: 50 KB to 300 KB

Max size (KB): 300
Min size (KB): 50
File size: 51,200 to 300,000 bytes

The NEET, JEE and CUET bulletins reject a certificate under 50 KB as well as one over 300 KB. With Min size set, the file stays over 50 KB however the portal counts a kilobyte; a small scan that cannot reach it is reported, not padded.

PDF limits on exam portals

PDF document limits from each portal's official notice, and what to set to meet them

Where the limits come from

Each row is from the portal's own notice for the cycle named: the National Testing Agency's information bulletins and the IBPS recruitment notifications. Limits change between cycles, so check the current notice before you apply. The SSC, UPSC and CTET notices of the same year set limits for the photo and signature only, so they are not listed.

The IBPS notices also ask for A4 pages, and for a scan that comes out over the limit to be scanned again at a lower resolution or with fewer colours. Compressing the scan you already have reaches the same size without scanning again.

Frequently asked questions

A PDF of many scanned pages holds one image a page, and each needs a certain number of pixels to stay readable. Converting pages to images, Greyscale images, or splitting the file are the ways under the size; the result offers the first. A PDF of text whose fonts take the space shrinks only by splitting.

Yes: a digitally signed PDF, such as an e-Aadhaar or a digitally signed certificate, no longer verifies once any byte changes, and the tool says so when you add one. Where a portal checks the signature, upload the original.

No. Your browser reads, compresses and saves the files on your device; they are not sent to CornerTools or anyone else, and neither is a password you type. To check, open the browser's developer tools at the Network tab and add a PDF: no request carries it. The PDF engine downloads from this site the first time you use it: a download to your browser, not an upload of your file.
