Fitting the SSC size limit
The page opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI), a typical size band for SSC document uploads, but switch to Target size and pick the exact limit the SSC portal shows for that specific upload. Switch to Target size if you need a hard cap — it tries several quality levels and keeps the best one that fits. All of this happens locally in your browser, with no upload.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF for an SSC application?+
Add your PDF to this page. It opens on the Balanced quality preset (72 DPI) and gives you a smaller file to download and attach in your SSC OTR profile or application. Switch to Target size if your upload states a different cap.
What is the file size limit for SSC uploads?+
It depends on the document and the notification; many SSC uploads sit in the low hundreds of KB, often around 200 KB. Confirm the precise limit shown beside the upload field on the SSC portal.
Are my SSC documents private?+
Completely. The compression uses runs entirely in your browser. Files are never uploaded and never leave your device.
Will my scanned marksheet stay clear?+
Yes. Only embedded images are downsampled while text and vectors stay crisp, so scans of marksheets and certificates remain readable after shrinking.
Does it cost anything or need registration?+
No. It is free, has no watermark, no sign-up, and no file limits, and it keeps working offline after the page loads.
