PDFs under 100 KB for government forms
Under 100 KB is about as strict as PDF upload limits get, and it's overwhelmingly an Indian government requirement — UPSC and SSC exam portals, state recruitment sites, scholarship applications, and RTI submissions routinely cap files at 50 to 200 KB. These portals reject oversized files silently, which is why a form that looks fine keeps failing to upload.
Hitting 100 KB means downsampling images hard, around 800 px on the long edge at modest JPEG quality. Because fits. keeps text as vector data, the words on a typical form stay crisp even as the file shrinks dramatically — it's the embedded photo or signature scan that loses detail, not the typed content. If a file simply has too much imagery to fit, the app says so plainly instead of producing something unreadable.
