Files are processed automatically and removed from server storage after the configured one-hour retention period. Always preview official documents before submission.

When this tool is useful

  • SSC CGL, CHSL, and MTS candidate profile photos
  • Banking (IBPS, SBI, LIC) exam photo attachments
  • Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) online forms
  • State-level job applications and student portal profiles

How to use the tool

  1. 1. Upload the original file
  2. 2. Choose the target and settings
  3. 3. Download, preview, and verify

Readability matters

Exact compression depends on the original file. Scanned documents usually compress differently from text PDFs. If the result is blurry or still too large, try a higher target, rescan around 150 DPI, or split a multi-page PDF.

Before you upload

  • Check the official portal requirement before processing.
  • Preview names, dates, seals, signatures, and marks.
  • Keep the original file until your application is accepted.
