Compress Aadhaar PDF Under 200KB

Compress and optimize e-Aadhaar PDF file size under 200KB for government job and portal uploads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Aadhaar PDF larger than 200KB even though it's only 1-2 pages?

e-Aadhaar PDFs downloaded from UIDAI embed a high-resolution photo, QR code, and digital signature certificate, which can push a 1-2 page file well past 500KB-1MB — over the upload limit of many government and banking portals that cap PDF uploads at 200KB.

Will compressing my Aadhaar PDF affect the QR code or digital signature validity?

The compression re-renders each page as an optimized image to shrink file size, which means the original cryptographic digital signature is not preserved in the compressed copy. Use the compressed file only for visual verification/upload purposes, and keep your original signed PDF for legal or signature-verification use.

What is the difference between this tool and 'Compress Aadhaar Photo'?

This tool compresses the entire Aadhaar PDF document. 'Compress Aadhaar Photo' is for a separate photograph or scanned image file, not a PDF. Use this one when a portal asks you to upload a PDF under a specific KB limit.
