SqueezePDFCompress PDF for a GATE applicationfree & private
The GATE application on the GOAPS portal accepts your photograph, signature and supporting certificates only within a set file-size range, and M.Tech and PSU aspirants often get stuck on an oversized scan. This tool compresses those PDFs to the required size directly in your browser. Your documents stay on your own machine the entire time.

Sizing files for GOAPS
Select the file and set a target; the compressor sweeps through quality levels and keeps the highest-quality result that fits under it. It opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), so switch to Target size and pick the exact limit GOAPS shows for that particular upload. Processing is entirely in-browser, so nothing about your GATE application is sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for the GATE GOAPS application?+
Open your file here, choose a target size that matches the GOAPS upload requirement, and download the smaller PDF. It all runs in your browser with no upload.
What is the file size limit for GATE documents?+
GOAPS generally defines a size range for each upload, but the exact bounds vary by document type and revise between sessions. Use the precise limit stated on your GOAPS upload page.
Is my data safe when compressing GATE documents?+
Yes. Everything is done locally. Your photo, signature and certificates are never uploaded and never leave your device.
Will my documents stay sharp for GATE verification?+
