Government and job portals in India often cap document uploads at a strict size — commonly 200KB or 500KB — and reject anything larger. A scanned Aadhaar card can easily be several megabytes, so you need to shrink it to hit the limit without making the text unreadable.
The good news: you can do this free, in seconds, without installing anything and without uploading your Aadhaar to a third-party server. Farvixo processes the file locally in your browser, which is important for a document containing your Aadhaar number.
Step 1 — Open the Aadhaar PDF Compressor (or the general PDF Compressor) and upload your file.
Step 2 — Choose a target size. Pick the 200KB preset (or type an exact target in KB). The tool automatically balances resolution and JPEG quality to land at or just under your target.
Step 3 — Preview and download. Check that the Aadhaar number and photo are still clearly legible, then download the compressed PDF ready to upload.
A few practical tips: start from the clearest scan you have, because compressing an already-blurry scan makes it worse; if a 200KB file looks too soft, 300KB is often still within many portals’ real limits; and keep the original high-quality file for your own records.
The same workflow applies to passport scans, PAN cards, marksheets and any other document with a KB limit. Compress your Aadhaar PDF to 200KB free with Farvixo — no signup, no watermark, fully private.
