How it works
- Choose your PDF. It opens in your browser and never leaves your device.
- Pick or type the size your form allows. Any KB works under "My own size", with a minimum if your form gives one.
- Check page 1 and the exact bytes, then download. If the size cannot be reached, you see the smallest real file and why.
What fits in 100 KB
100 KB is enough for one or two scanned pages with clear print. Every extra page shares the same 100 KB, so a 5-page scan gets about 20 KB a page and small print softens. The result shows the resolution we used, and the preview lets you check the small print before you upload.
A text PDF made on a computer is different: its text costs very little and stays sharp at any size, so only its pictures and logos get smaller.
If your form also gives a minimum
Some forms ask for a PDF between two sizes, such as 50 to 300 KB. Pick 50–100 KB or type your own range. If your PDF is already smaller than the minimum, we say so and leave it as it is: we never add empty bytes to make a file bigger.
How this differs from the big PDF sites
We read the compress pages of iLovePDF, Smallpdf, Adobe Acrobat online and PDF24 again on 6 Nov 2026. Here is what differs.
| FormJig | Those four sites | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your PDF goes | Stays in your browser | Uploaded, or processed in the cloud, as their own pages say |
| The size you set | Any KB you type, with a minimum if your form has one | Levels or quality settings; none showed a box for a KB size |
On top of that, FormJig shows the exact bytes and page 1 before you download, keeps text selectable, and says plainly when a size cannot be reached and what takes the space.
PDF size limits in Indian forms
We read these limits in each form’s own document and link it with its date. Rules change between exams and years, so the notice for your form has the last word.
| Form | Documents | PDF size | Where it says so |
|---|---|---|---|
| JEE Main 2027 (Session 1) | Class 10 certificate or marksheet, disability (UDID), scribe and passport documents | 50 to 300 kB | JEE Main 2027 Information Bulletin, pp. 9-10, public notice 24 Oct 2026: “should be a pdf between 50 kB to 300 kB” |
| NEET (UG) 2026 | Category, Class X, CGPA conversion, PwD (UDID), address and NRI/OCI documents | 50 to 300 kb | NEET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin, p. 21, dated Feb 2026: “pdf format between 50 kb to 300 kb” |
| National Scholarship Portal | Every document uploaded for a scheme (PDF or JPEG) | Up to 200 kb | NSP FAQ (DEPD scheme), p. 3, Q13, no date shown: “size of the each document should not exceed 200kb” |
Read by us 5 Nov 2026 · next check by 1 Feb 2027. A range like 50 to 300 kB means the file must not be smaller either; we never pad a PDF to reach a minimum.

Questions
How can I compress a PDF to 100 KB on my phone?
Open this page on your phone, tap Choose PDF and pick the file from your downloads or files app. The work happens on the phone itself: the PDF never travels over your connection, only the tool’s own files load.
Why is my 100 KB PDF blurry?
At 100 KB each scanned page gets only a few tens of KB. Fewer pages, or cropping the scan to the paper edges before you make the PDF, gives each page more room and sharper print.
Can a PDF be too small for the form?
Yes, when the form gives a minimum, like 50 KB. The meter shows which side you are on. We never pad a file to reach a minimum; a new scan at a higher quality is the honest fix.
Is 1 KB 1,000 or 1,024 bytes here?
Forms rarely say. We count your minimum at 1,024 bytes per KB and your maximum at 1,000, so the file passes either way of counting. The result shows the exact bytes.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened, shrunk and saved inside your browser, on your phone or computer. We tested every PDF page with a network log: no request carried any part of the file.
Will a digitally signed certificate still verify?
No. Any change to a signed PDF, including making it smaller, means the signature no longer checks out, and the tool warns you when it finds one. If your form checks signatures, upload the original.
