Compress PDF to 500 KB
Five hundred KB is the limit for several certificate uploads, including the IBPS PO/MT-XVI 10th certificate on A4. It allows a resolution around what a flatbed scanner produces for a few pages, so documents stay crisp.
No sign-up. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Free trial: 1 run of Compress PDF to KB every day. After that, 2 credits per run.
Scanning at 200 dpi or more
The IBPS notification asks for documents scanned at 200 dpi or more. Start from a good scan or a sharp, well-lit phone photo, then let the tool fit it under 500 KB; it reports the resolution it used.
Large PDFs from offices and banks
Office-generated PDFs with embedded photos can be several megabytes. If a file is only a little over the limit, the redrawn pages will usually keep most of their detail at this size.
Questions
How do I make a PDF under 500 KB for IBPS?
Choose the IBPS PO/MT-XVI 10th certificate rule, which is A4 and up to 500 KB, add the file and make the PDF. Photos of the certificate are fitted onto A4 pages.
My PDF is already under 500 KB. Should I compress it?
No. The tool notices when a single PDF already fits and offers the original for download, which keeps its text selectable.
Does the tool remove the password from a PDF?
You enter the password to open the file, and the new PDF is saved without one. Keep it private, as anyone with the file can open it.
