Getting a PAN card scan under the limit
A PAN card is a single-side card scan, so most of the file weight is the image, which downsamples well while the printed numbers stay legible. This page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), but switch to Target size and pick whatever your portal requires before you download. All processing happens in your browser, so your PAN details never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for a PAN card?+
Select or drop your PAN card PDF, keep Balanced or switch to Target size, and download the compressed file. Ghostscript runs in your browser and downsamples the card image while keeping the number and text readable.
What file size is usually required for a PAN card PDF?+
PAN and KYC portals commonly ask for something small, often around 100 KB, but limits vary. Always use the exact figure shown on your upload page and switch to Target size and pick it.
Is it safe to compress my PAN card here?+
Yes. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so your PAN card is never uploaded and never leaves your device, which matters for a sensitive ID.
Will the PAN number still be readable after compressing?+
Yes. Text and vector content stay sharp and only the embedded scan is downsampled, so the printed PAN number, name and date stay legible at typical portal sizes.
Is this PAN card compressor free?+
