Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a PDF to under 200KB for government portals?▾

Open EverydayPDF's PDF compressor, drop in your file, and pick the 200KB preset. The tool compresses images and optimizes the file in your browser until it fits the limit used by portals like the Income Tax e-filing site, EPFO, and passport/visa applications. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Does compressing a PDF reduce its quality?▾

Compression mainly reduces the resolution of embedded images; text stays sharp because it is vector data. EverydayPDF lets you choose a size target so you trade only as much image quality as needed to hit the limit.

Is it safe to compress confidential PDFs online?▾

With EverydayPDF, yes — the file never leaves your device. All compression runs client-side in your browser (it even works offline), unlike most online compressors that upload your document to their servers.

Is there a file size or usage limit?▾

No. EverydayPDF has no file size caps and no daily limits on compression, because processing happens on your own computer rather than on a server.
