Compress PAN Card PDF Under 200KB for Exam Forms
Compress your PAN card PDF to 20–200KB for exam form uploads. Free browser-based compressor — no upload, no signup, text stays legible.
Most government exam portals require the PAN card PDF to be between 20KB and 200KB. Files that are too large are rejected by the uploader, and files that are too small may be flagged as corrupt.
This compressor shrinks your PAN PDF to sit inside the 20–200KB window while keeping the text and photo legible. Everything runs in your browser — your PAN never leaves your device.
Compress your PAN card to the exact KB range
Identity proof — keep it legible, Aadhaar watermark visible.
Scanned documents are rasterised and re-encoded to land safely under the portal's KB limit. If the source is already under the limit it is passed through unchanged. Always keep a copy of the original file.
Upload a PDF to preview the compressed result.
Exam PDF Compressor runs entirely in your browser — no document ever leaves your device. Multi-page and batch files are supported; batch downloads come as a ZIP.

Frequently asked questions
What size does the PAN upload need to be?
Most exam portals accept the PAN card PDF between 20KB and 200KB. This tool targets that exact window.
Will compression make my PAN blurry?
The tool re-rasterizes at 150 DPI and picks the highest quality that still meets the KB limit, so the PAN number and photo usually stay readable. Always preview before uploading.
Can I compress both Aadhaar and PAN together?
Upload them one at a time — the tool processes one document per run so each gets the right compression level for its KB target.
Is my PAN uploaded anywhere?
No — compression runs entirely in your browser using PDF.js and canvas, so your PAN never leaves your computer.
