SqueezePDFCompress PDF for an Aadhaar cardfree & private
Uploading your Aadhaar to a portal that caps the file size? Compress the scanned or downloaded Aadhaar PDF here to a smaller file that still passes verification. If your portal allows it, you can even upload a masked Aadhaar that hides the first eight digits, and either way the file is processed only on your device.

Fitting an Aadhaar PDF under the size cap
Whether it is a scan of the physical card or the PDF e-Aadhaar, most of the size comes from images that downsample cleanly. This page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), so switch to Target size and pick the exact limit your portal shows before downloading. Everything runs in your browser, so your Aadhaar number and photo never touch a server.
