Compress PDF Below 100KB for Online Government Job Applications
When applying for competitive examinations and state or central government recruitments—such as SSC (CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD), UPSC Civil Services, TSPSC (Group 1, 2, 4), IBPS & SBI Banking Exams, Railway RRB, and state public service commissions—candidates are strictly required to upload supporting documents like educational certificates, 10th class marksheets, caste certificates, and income certificates in PDF format strictly under 100KB.
Standard scanners and camera scanning apps typically output PDF files between 1MB and 5MB. FileTools solves this instantly by using advanced in-browser stream downsampling to re-encode high-resolution scans directly to your target size while preserving critical signatures, stamp impressions, and text sharpness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my marksheet and certificates remain legible after compressing below 100KB?
Yes. Our compressor selectively re-encodes background raster textures while keeping vector text glyphs, roll numbers, signatures, and university seals legible.
Why do government portals like TSPSC, SSC, and UPSC restrict PDF uploads to 100KB?
When millions of candidates apply simultaneously, server bandwidth and database storage constraints require strict file size caps under 100KB.
Is it safe to compress confidential government documents and certificates here?
Absolutely. FileTools is built with a zero-server invariant. All processing happens locally in your browser memory with zero file uploads.
What if my original scanned PDF is very large (e.g., 5MB to 10MB)?
FileTools automatically downsamples high-DPI scans to hit your 100KB target directly in your browser.
