## Answer

WhatsApp and mobile sharing struggle with large PDFs. Use Target size (often 1–5 MB or less) below. Processing stays on your device — useful in India and everywhere WhatsApp is the default share path.

## Limits

- Aggressive compression can blur stamps and signatures — preview before sending.
- Document chat limits change; when in doubt, aim smaller.

## FAQ

### What PDF size works on WhatsApp?

Smaller is better on mobile data. Try 1–5 MB first; use 100–500 KB pages for strict cases.

### Does compress for WhatsApp upload my PDF?

No. Compression is local in your browser.

### Sharing IDs on WhatsApp?

Compress is not enough — redact Aadhaar/PAN fields and Deep Clean before sharing.
