Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a PDF to under 50KB?+
Upload your single-page PDF document above. PDFCraft immediately tunes compression parameters to target 50KB. If your document has multiple pages or high-resolution images, the tool indicates the minimum readable boundary so you avoid creating unreadable documents.
Do exam portals like SSC and IBPS accept PDFs for signatures and photos?+
Important: Most portals (SSC, IBPS, UPSC, NTA) require JPG/JPEG format for photographs (20–50KB) and signatures (10–20KB). They require PDF format specifically for Certificates, Marksheets, and ID proofs. Check the specifications table on this page before submitting.
Will my single-page document remain readable at 50KB?+
Yes. For single-page documents with vector text or standard scans, PDFCraft balances resolution scaling with lossy stream compression to maintain legible text.
Are my scanned documents uploaded to a remote server?+
No. 100% of processing happens locally on your device hardware using in-browser Web APIs and PDF-Lib. Your files never touch an external server.
