How to Convert Images to PDF Below 100 KB Without Losing Legibility
When applying for higher education scholarships (such as the Central Sector Scheme on the National Scholarship Portal, State E-Kalyan, or Pre/Post-Matric scholarships), candidate attachments must comply with strict server limits: typically "Uploaded PDF must be less than 100 KB".
Scanned marksheets or mobile camera snapshots often occupy 2 MB to 5 MB. Converting them without proper size control leads to server rejection messages like "File size exceeds permitted 100KB". SizeSnap automatically calculates the exact compression ratio required to deliver high readability within an 80 KB – 98 KB footprint.
Common Use Cases for Under 100 KB PDF Files:
- Scholarship Portals (NSP, UP Scholarship, MahaDBT): Income certificate, caste certificate, fee receipt, and previous year marksheet.
- College & University Admissions (Delhi University, Mumbai University, AKTU): Class 10th and 12th passing certificates.
- Banking & Financial KYC: Address proof (electricity bill, rent agreement) and cancelled cheque upload for online bank accounts.
- State Government Recruitment: Resident / domicile certificates for state police and clerical exams.
