Compress PDF to 1 MB for Passport Seva
Get your supporting documents under the size that the Passport Seva portal accepts for PDF uploads.
Files are optimized losslessly when possible. To guarantee an exact size, larger files are converted to images, which can soften text and remove the selectable text layer.
Compressing PDFs for Passport Seva applications
When you apply through the Passport Seva portal, some steps let you upload supporting documents as PDFs, and those uploads have a size limit. 1 MB is a practical target for a clear multi-page scan, but the accepted size and formats can change, so always check the current guidance on the official Passport Seva site before uploading.
Passport paperwork includes sensitive proof of identity and address. KiloPDF compresses the file on your device, so these documents are never sent to an outside server.
Pick your document, keep the 1 MB target, and download a smaller PDF. If the file already fits, it is returned at full quality.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1 MB the right size for Passport Seva applications?
1 MB is a commonly requested target, but limits vary and change over time. Check the exact requirement on the relevant portal or provider before you upload or send.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your PDF never leaves your device, which makes this safe for KYC, banking, and government documents.
How do you hit exactly 1024 KB?
We re-encode each page as an image and search across quality and resolution settings until the rebuilt PDF lands at or just under 1024 KB, keeping the best quality that still fits.
Is it really free with no watermark?
Yes. No sign-in, no per-hour task caps, no watermark, and no file-count limits, unlike most incumbents.
Will the text stay selectable?
When the file already fits or can be optimized losslessly, text stays sharp and selectable. To guarantee a smaller exact size we rasterize the pages, which is exactly what portal uploads need. If you need selectable text, keep your original.
