SqueezePDFCompress PDF for a driving licencefree & private
A driving licence is a small plastic card, but a scan of both sides can still be too big for an RTO, insurance or rental portal. Compress the licence PDF here so the photo, licence number and address stay readable at a smaller size. The scan holds personal details, so it is compressed only on your device.

Shrinking a driving licence card scan
A licence scan is mostly a photographed card, so the image is where the size lives and it downsamples well while the printed licence number stays crisp. This page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), so switch to Target size and pick your specific portal requires before you download. Processing stays in your browser, so your licence details are never uploaded.
