mypdf.space

Short answer

Government, banking, and exam forms often reject files over 100 KB–2 MB. Drop your PDF below, choose Target size (or open 100 KB / 200 KB / 500 KB / 1 MB), and download. Prefer Keep text when the portal must still read the document. Compression never leaves your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Check the form’s stated size limit (KB or MB).

  2. 2

    Drop the PDF into the compressor below and set Target size to that limit (or open the matching size page).

  3. 3

    Prefer Keep text when the portal needs selectable text; use stronger shrink only if the file still fails.

  4. 4

    Preview small print (dates, stamps, ID digits) before downloading.

  5. 5

    Upload the result to the government portal yourself — mypdf never receives the file.

Who needs this

  • India government / DigiLocker / departmental form applicants
  • UPSC, SSC, banking, and other exam portal uploads
  • Anyone stuck on “file too large” on an official online form

Files never leave your device

Compression runs locally. You compress here, then upload only the finished file to the government site. mypdf.space does not see your application PDF.

Limits worth knowing

  • Each portal states its own cap — match that number.
  • Scanned colour PDFs may need stronger compression or fewer pages.
  • Some portals reject encrypted PDFs — unlock first if needed.

Frequently asked questions

  • UPSC / SSC / bank form PDF too large?
    Use the size the form prints (often 100–500 KB or 1 MB). This page plus the exact size links cover those caps without uploading to us.
  • Does this upload my application PDF?
    No. Compression runs in your browser; you upload the result to the portal yourself.
  • Aadhaar upload size?
    See Compress for Aadhaar / ID upload — and never share a full Aadhaar lightly; redact when the form allows.
  • What if it still fails after compression?
    Crop or delete extra pages, rescan in black and white, or try a slightly lower target. Image-heavy scans hit a readability floor.
