## What is Aadhaar PDF Compressor?

Aadhaar PDF Compressor is a free Farvixo tool that lets you compress Aadhaar PDF to UIDAI upload size limits. It applies the issuing authority's published rules for pixel dimensions, file size, DPI and background, so the file is accepted the first time. Identity documents are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded anywhere.

## How to use Aadhaar PDF Compressor

1. **Upload your photo or document** — Add your file to Aadhaar PDF Compressor. It is processed entirely in your browser — important for identity documents, which never reach a server here.
2. **Pick the official specification** — Choose the form or authority you are applying to. Aadhaar PDF Compressor applies that body's exact rules for dimensions, file size, background and DPI, so you are not guessing at the requirements.
3. **Download the compliant file** — Save a file that already matches the upload specification, ready to submit without rejection for the wrong size or format.

## Use cases

- Applying online where the portal rejects photos for being the wrong size or file weight
- Preparing photo and signature files for an exam registration before the deadline
- Anyone who does not want an identity document passing through a third-party server
- Fixing a submission that was already rejected for a specification mismatch

## Tips

- Photograph against a plain light background in even daylight — no flash shadow behind the head.
- Confirm the specification against the portal you are actually applying on; requirements differ between authorities and occasionally change.
- Keep the compliant output file. Most applications ask for the same photo again at a later stage.

## Common problems

- **The portal rejected the file for size** — Portals enforce both pixel dimensions and a KB range. Select the exact portal preset rather than a generic resize, so both limits are met at once.
- **The face is cropped wrongly** — Official specs fix the proportion of the frame the head must occupy. Re-upload a photo taken further back so there is room to crop correctly.
- **The background is not accepted** — Shadows and off-white walls fail an automated background check. Re-shoot against a plain white or light-grey surface with even lighting.

## FAQ

### Can I compress an Aadhaar PDF to exactly 200KB?

Yes. Choose the 200KB preset or type an exact KB target and the tool balances resolution and quality to land at or under it.

### Is my Aadhaar uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression runs 100% in your browser, so your Aadhaar PDF never leaves your device — important for a document with your Aadhaar number.

### Will the text stay readable?

Yes. Preview before downloading; if 200KB looks too soft, many portals accept up to 300–500KB, which keeps the text sharper.

### Does it work for passport and PAN too?

Yes. The same tool compresses passport scans, PAN cards, marksheets and any PDF with a KB upload limit.

### Is it free?

Yes — unlimited compression, free, with no watermark and no signup.
