How to compress PDF to 300kb
Government service forms and document uploads often allow around 300 KB per file: a scanned Aadhaar or PAN card, an address proof, or a front and back scan combined into one PDF. Drop it here and the tool compresses it to fit under 300 KB with the best quality that size allows.
- Drop the scanned PDF, for example your ID card front and back.
- Press Compress to 300 KB and let it find the right setting.
- Download the compressed PDF and check the size before you upload.

Why use this tool
Phone scanning apps save pages at high resolution, so a two-page ID scan can easily be several megabytes. At 300 KB there is enough room for the numbers, photo and fine print on an ID card to stay legible.
Because this is an identity document, where it goes matters. The compression runs entirely in your browser, so your Aadhaar or PAN scan is never uploaded to us or stored anywhere.
Check the form's own instructions for its exact limit and format. If it wants a JPG instead of a PDF, use Compress image; if it wants both sides in one file, combine them with JPG to PDF first.
Questions people ask
Is it safe to compress my Aadhaar or PAN card here?
The file never leaves your device. Compression happens in your browser, and nothing is uploaded or stored on our servers.
My scan is two photos, not a PDF. What do I do?
Use JPG to PDF to put both photos in one PDF, then compress it here. Or compress the photos directly with Compress image if the form accepts images.
Will the ID number and photo stay readable?
At 300 KB, a one or two page scan normally stays clear. The tool always picks the highest quality that still fits.
What if my file still comes out above 300 KB?
The result line says so and shows the smallest size reached. Removing extra pages with Delete pages usually solves it.
