The Passport Seva portal requires certain documents to be under 100KB — a challenge when dealing with scanned certificates and identity proofs. PDFOdimel's high compression mode can reduce most single-page documents to under 100KB.
Passport Document Size Requirements
- Photograph: 10-300KB (JPEG)
- Signature: Up to 120KB (JPEG)
- Supporting documents: Up to 1MB (PDF)
How to Get PDF Under 100KB
- Scan the document in grayscale at 150 DPI
- Upload to PDFOdimel Compress tool
- Select High compression
- If still over 100KB, try our Resize tool to reduce dimensions first
Works perfectly for Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, and driving license PDFs needed for passport applications.
