## Answer

Portals that accept Aadhaar PDFs often enforce tight size caps. Compress locally below, then use Aadhaar/PAN redactor before sending copies to anyone who does not need the full ID. mypdf never uploads your file.

## Limits

- Never share Aadhaar lightly — size is not the only risk.
- Masked Aadhaar rules vary by use case; follow UIDAI / portal guidance.

## FAQ

### Is it safe to upload Aadhaar PDF online?

Uploading to any third-party compressor is risky. mypdf compresses locally; still only upload to official portals that require it.

### Should I redact before compressing?

Redact sensitive fields when the recipient should not see full ID details, then compress.

### Does mypdf store Aadhaar?

No. Processing stays in your browser.
