## Direct answer

Open Compress PDF for government portal, set Target size to the form’s limit (often 100–500 KB or 1 MB), download, then upload to the portal yourself.

## Introduction

Exam and government forms reject oversized scans constantly. Fix size locally; keep privacy for ID-heavy packets.

## Steps

1. Read the portal’s exact size limit.
2. Use Compress for government portal or a size page (100kb, 200kb, 500kb, 1mb).
3. Preview readability — stamps must stay legible.
4. Upload the result to the official portal only.

## UPSC / SSC / banking forms

One government-portal page covers these intents; match the printed KB limit rather than creating dozens of thin pages.

## Limits

- Colour photo pages may need stronger compression.
- Portal software differs — trust their error text.

## FAQ

### 100 KB not enough quality?

Reduce pages or crop; or ask if the portal allows a higher cap.

### Upload to mypdf?

No.

### Aadhaar-specific?

See Compress for Aadhaar upload and the Aadhaar safety guide.
