Common 200 KB PDF Compression Errors and How Kagazo Fixes Them
TNPSC Rejects Overly Compressed Files
TNPSC strictly rejects files under 100 KB to prevent unreadable low-res scans. Kagazo carefully preserves file density between 150 KB and 195 KB.
Marginal Boundary Failure on SSC Server
Files measuring even 200.5 KB trigger immediate portal rejections. Kagazo enforces a strict 180 KB target with built-in safety margins.
Over-Compression Erasing Crucial Digits
Generic tools blur student roll numbers and marks grids. Kagazo isolates high-frequency text zones to preserve numerical clarity.
Front & Back Pages Rendered at Uneven Scales
Combining marksheet front and back scans often results in mismatched aspect ratios. Kagazo standardizes all pages to uniform A4 dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions (200 KB PDF Compression)
Comprehensive insights covering TNPSC OTR, SSC recruitment certificates, and seal legibility.
Q1.Why is 200KB the most common PDF upload limit across Indian exams?
Major recruitment commissions like TNPSC and SSC standardise on a 200 KB maximum limit (and 100 KB minimum for TNPSC) to balance high-speed server uploads with document readability, ensuring certificates can be verified without manual magnifying tools.
Q2.How do I ensure my marksheet stays between 100 KB and 200 KB for TNPSC?
Kagazo automatically targets 180 KB for the 200 KB preset, keeping your file well above the 100 KB rejection threshold while safely below the 200 KB ceiling.

Yes. Kagazo retains 150–200 DPI resolution on graphic stamps while compressing blank paper backgrounds, ensuring university seals, registrar signatures, and holograms remain sharp.
